===Done===

* Remove the ability to leave comments on PTA website pages—the site is not a blog to host discussion, it just disseminates information. Instead, make sure contact information is readily available on all pages. --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 11:16, 2 February 2013 (EST)

==How To==

===Link to the newsletter===

The most recent weekly Wildcat Update Newsletter should be linked from the [http://sagamorehillspta.org/ Sagamore PTA homepage]. Here's how to find the link (URL).

# Login to the [[Sagamore Hills online#Constant Contact|PTA Constant Contact account]]
# Find the Email Details page of the email (newsletter) to link to (in Recent Work, or Email)
# Under Social Sharing, select Simple Share, and find the URL (something like: <code><nowiki>http://conta.cc/UPZ93d</nowiki></code>)

==Accounts==

Several ''accounts'' are associated with managing the website.

===Wordpress===

The Wordpress site has a single user, '''<code>admin</code>''', assigned [mailto:dave@1.0ne.org Dave Barker]'s email address*, with the password known to both him and [mailto:vkornylak@gmail.com Vera Kornylak]. Most website work will be done using this account by [http://sagamorehillspta.org/wp-admin logging into the site].

<nowiki/>* Since passwords may be sent to the account email address, it's not appropriate to use the [http://list.9.0ne.org/list/listinfo/sagamore.online PTA online group email address].

===Log===

[[Sagamore Hills PTA Dreamhost account#Log|The ''log account'']], is used to [http://sagamorehillspta.org/stats view website-access statistics] generated by [http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Analog Dreamhost's Analog].

===Server===

If you need access to the server files, check out the [[Sagamore Hills PTA Dreamhost account#Server|server account]].

===Database===

Wordpress uses [[Sagamore Hills PTA Dreamhost account#Database|a ''database account'']].

==Usage==

To try and get a sense of how the [http://sagamorehillspta.org/ PTA website] is used, one can [[#Log|use the log account]]. The reports really aren't that good (says [[User:Dave|Dave]])—you need to look at each month to start to paint a picture.

In 2013-02, [[User:Dave|Dave]] looked at months 2012-03 - 2013-01 .
