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.
- The image for use in the article should be made about x pixels wide.
- Use WordPress to make a thumbnail that is 180 pixels wide. A specific height is not so critical.
Send the newsletter
- Publish each of the posts in WordPress
- Generate the actual e-mail content ("mail content") by running the "Generate newsletter" script.
- Go lookup the mail content and verify that it looks as desired.
- Use the mass mailing system to select the query, the mailing content, and then send the newsletter.
