Send a newsletter

Prepare content

  • Write each story into a separate posts in WordPress and save them as drafts.
    • Tag them with the Article category.
    • Write an excerpt in the Excerpt section. This will be the text written in the actual e-mail newsletter.
    • Normally you don't want to cross-post them to Facebook/Twitter at this time. We will write a news item that automatically will be posted to Facebook/Twitter.
  • Find an image for each story and upload it in WordPress.
    • Use WordPress to make the images 220 pixels wide. A specific height is not so critical.


Send the newsletter

  • Generate the actual e-mail content ("mail content") by running the "Generate newsletter" script.
  • Publish each of the posts in WordPress
  • Use the mass mailing system to select the query, the mailing content, and then send the newsletter.
