Posting an iContact Newsletter

To start, login to the website District Website Admin with your email address and password you created for this site. (If you forgot your password, click the "Forgot Password?" link on the login page and follow the directions sent to your email. See the picture below for reference:

Once logged in, on the left hand side of the navigation bar, click on "Entries"

Then in the middle of the page, make sure that you have the proper school selected from the dropdown. (For most everyone they only have access to their own building, so they should only have the option to select their building from the dropdown).

Then select "Newsletters" from the middle as shown in the screenshot below:

After selecting the "Newsletter" page in the previous step you will be brought to a page that looks like the following:

Scroll down on this page until you see a section called "Accordions". This content block is where the newsletters go. You will notice that in Wide Hollows example they have previous school years newsletters archived. So be mindful of the accordion section you're working in. You'll notice in the screenshot below we have called out in red the "accordion" section to look for. Then look to make sure you're in the right school year as seen in the second callout.

You'll add your newsletters from oldest on the top to newest in the bottom. To add your newest newsletter, go to the bottom of the accordion you're working in and go to the last entry in the list. Click to put your cursor at the end of the last entry and hit the "Return" or "Enter" key to move the cursor to the next line. 

Then, click the "Link" button. This is in-between the "Picture" button and the "Table" button as seen in the screenshot below. then, click the "insert Link" option.

A window will pop up. Be sure to go grab your link from iContact and copy it to your clipboard. Then, paste that URL in the top empty field that says "URL" above it. Then, give the URL some text in the empty "Text" field. Usually this is the date of the newsletter and then whether it is the English or Spanish version of the newsletter. Last but not least in this window be sure to check the box that says "Open link in new tab" and click the "Insert" button.

All that's left to do is hit the Red "Save" button at the top of the website. Then, double check your work! Go to the Newsletters page on the website and try clicking the link you just created and verify it is correct and works as intended. Make sure it does open the link you click in a new window.

That's it! You have successfully posted your iContact Newsletter to the website!
