|||
==How To== |
|||
===Link to the newsletter=== |
|||
The most recent weekly Wildcat Update Newsletter should be linked from the [http://sagamorehillspta.org/ Sagamore PTA homepage]. |
|||
Two methods are listed below, in order of preference. There are two because sometimes only one of the two will work. |
|||
====Method 1==== |
|||
# From an email newsletter, copy the link from, "Having trouble viewing this email? Click here" |
|||
# Use the first part of the link (with the <code>ca</code> parameter (the <code>c</code> and <code>cc</code> parameters are not wanted)). For example: |
|||
#: <code>'''<nowiki>http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?ca=bc3db49d-a82b-402d-8845-75ee3de7475e</nowiki>'''&c=cc737c60-de1b-11e2-93b0-d4ae528440e0&ch=cc763b80-de1b-11e2-93b0-d4ae528440e0</code> |
|||
====Method 2==== |
|||
# Login to the [[Sagamore Hills online#Constant Contact|PTA Constant Contact account]] |
|||
# Find the Email Details page of the email (newsletter) to link to (in Recent Work, or Email) |
|||
# Under Social Sharing, select Simple Share, and find the URL (something like: <code><nowiki>http://conta.cc/UPZ93d</nowiki></code>) |
|||
==Accounts== |
|||
Several ''accounts'' are associated with managing the website. |
|||
===Wordpress=== |
|||
The Wordpress site can be [http://sagamorehillspta.org/wp-admin logged into] by a single user, '''<code>admin</code>''', assigned [[Dave Barker]]'s email address (since passwords may be sent to the account email address, it's not appropriate to use the [http://list.9.0ne.org/list/listinfo/sagamore.online PTA online group email address]). |
|||
The password known to: |
|||
* [[Vera Kornylak]] |
|||
* [[Dave Barker]] |
|||
* [mailto:d_e_f_k@hotmail.com David Klein] |
|||
* [mailto:jenn@bimmia.com Jennifer Somers] |
|||
* [mailto:jmbaldwin@gmail.com Jonathan Baldwin] |
|||
===Log=== |
|||
[[Sagamore Hills PTA Dreamhost account#Log|The ''log account'']], is used to [http://sagamorehillspta.org/stats view website-access statistics] generated by [http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Analog Dreamhost's Analog]. |
