Put Newsletter on Blog

These steps essentially mean that we paste the post into the blog. No pictures, they will need separate insertion. Textpad is a way of removing all spaces.

The newsletter has its own Specific Permanent Page and a Current Newsletter Page. We make the new specific page and update the Newsletter page. Then make a post. Here are the steps:

Update the Current Newsletter Page

  1. If not still open, open the Newsletter you made in DreamWeaver. Go to Code view. Select all and copy. Ctrl+a – Ctrl+c
  2. Open TextWrangler Paste the lot Ctrl v.
  3. Delete the first 10 lines or so till you get to <h2>Autumn 2009</h2>  or whatever the season. Also remove the stuff about the email.
  4. Still in Textwrangler, Select all, Edit > Reformat the page by finding \r and replacing it with nothing. – This shld have no line breaks – it is one long line.
  5. Still in TextWrangler Copy the lot, Ctrl+a – Ctrl+c
  6. Open the Kate Tapley Horse Treks blog Dashboard. Go to Pages > Edit (the link above will take you there).
  7. If its the Newsletter – Find the page called Newsletter – hover on it and click Edit make sure you are in HTML not Visual (tabs top right on the window).

    If not the Newsletter – just make a blog post.

  8. Select all and paste in the code. Click Update Page Button
  9. Click Preview to see how it looks. It can take a few moments. All should be fine.

Make the new Specific Permanent Newsletter Page

  1. While you still have the whole newsletter in your clipboard go to the Dashboard > Page > Add New Here
  2. Give it the title thus: Spring 2010 Newsletter, Publish
  3. Check
  4. Make a new Blog post like this one and its done! (note that link is to the permanent page)
  5. Exclude the old newsletter in the left sidebar in the widget. Find number by hovering over Edit in Blog Edit.

Wow!!!! Just making a pdf to go.

    I just did this on the Mac following the steps and there are a few differences, but I know how to do those.
