Add a Sidebar to a HTML Newsletter Issue
- Read the chapter titled “Newsletter/Publication Features
in Detail” in the Administration Manual.
- Create a newsletter issue. See tutorial titled, “Create
and Publish a Text Format Email Broadcast Newsletter”
- Click the Add Sidebar button on the Newsletter Issue
Component page.
- Enter the sidebar headline into the Headline field.
- Enter the sidebar’s sort order. The number entered into
the Sort Order field decides the order of the sidebars within the issue.
If items have the same Sort Order number entered then they will be sorted
alphabetically.
- Type content directly into Content page. DO NOT paste copy
from internet sites, MS Word document or other applications directly int
Content field as they will likely contain invisible scripts an commands
that can corrupt your newsletter. Instead, paste such content into Note
Pad Text Editor (Text editor located in accessories folder on all Windows
computers) then copy from Note Pad and paste into Comment field. Note Pad
strips invisible scripts and commands from the content.
- If you wish to separate side bars into categories (Ex.,
What’s New, Last Month, New Members, etc) select a category. You may add
new categories by typing into the Add New Category field and clicking on the
Save button at the bottom of the page. New category will appear in list
after page refreshes.
- Click Save button.
