-'''''Older done to dos''' are [[#History]]''
-==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>)
-===Show discussion===
-To show current action from the [[Sagamore PTA discussion groups]] on the website, display the groups' syndication feed:
-# Collect [https://groups.google.com/a/sagamorehillspta.org/d/forumsearch all the Sagamore PTA discussion groups]' IDs; they're the unique part in the URL
-# Find the right syndication feed address; they're available from a group's "About" page (e.g. [https://groups.google.com/a/groups.sagamorehillspta.org/d/aboutgroup/garden About Garden])
-#* https://groups.google.com/a/groups.sagamorehillspta.org/forum/feed/garden/topics/atom.xml?num=15
-# Aggregate the feeds into one; [http://chimpfeedr.com/ ChimpFeedr] might be good
-#* e.g. http://mix.chimpfeedr.com/ba350-Sagamore-discussion-topics
-# Display the aggregated feed on the website, like with the built-in Wordpress RSS widget.
-==Accounts==
-Several ''accounts'' are associated with managing the website.
-===Wordpress===
-The Wordpress site can be [http://sagamorehillspta.org/wp-login.php logged into] by a single user, '''<code>admin</code>''', and is assigned the [[Sagamore email|email address <code>communications@sagamorehillspta.org</code>]].
-The password known to:

-* [[Vera Kornylak]]
-===Log===
