Uploading Newsletters

These instructions assume you have a PDF ready to go, and that you are logged in to the Columbia site. Note: change to 1. upload without placement, 2. copy/paste/edit link text.

Go to http://www.crctc.org/post/comments/newsletter-archive/ Click the edit icon at the end of the article. This will open up the publish/edit page for that article.

Click the file upload icon

Browse to the newsletter PDF, open/select it, and click Upload.

As soon as you see the File Uploaded status message in green, do not click either of the 'Place File' buttons but instead, click the Close Window link at the bottom.

You will need to edit the text after the <a href...> tag and just before the closing </a> tag to name the issue of the newsletter you are uploading. Study the existing text to match the pattern. Be sure to insert a space between the closing /> of the img src image tag and the opening <a href of the link tag.

Click the Preview button and make sure that the article looks about right.

The styling won't match the site, but the line breaks and text should be correct. If it isn't, edit the markup in the article body until it's right.

At the top of the edit page, click the Date tab and then click Today at the bottom. This will reset the dateline on the article to indicate that it has recently been updated with a new issue of the newsletter.

Click Update to republish the page with the new link to the latest newsletter. Go to http://www.crctc.org/post/comments/newsletter-archive/ and admire your work!
