==How To==

===Link to the newsletter===

The most recent weekly Wildcat Update Newsletter should be linked from the [http://sagamorehillspta.org/ Sagamore PTA homepage].

Two methods are listed below, in order of preference. There are two because sometimes only one of the two will work.

====Method 1====

# From an email newsletter, copy the link from, "Having trouble viewing this email? Click here"
# Use the first part of the link (with the <code>ca</code> parameter (the <code>c</code> and <code>cc</code> parameters are not wanted)). For example:
#: <code>'''<nowiki>http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?ca=bc3db49d-a82b-402d-8845-75ee3de7475e</nowiki>'''&c=cc737c60-de1b-11e2-93b0-d4ae528440e0&ch=cc763b80-de1b-11e2-93b0-d4ae528440e0</code>

====Method 2====

# 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 can be [http://sagamorehillspta.org/wp-admin logged into] by a single user, '''<code>admin</code>''', assigned [[Dave Barker]]'s email address (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]).

The password known to:

* [[Vera Kornylak]]
* [[Dave Barker]]
* [mailto:d_e_f_k@hotmail.com David Klein]
* [mailto:jenn@bimmia.com Jennifer Somers]
* [mailto:jmbaldwin@gmail.com Jonathan Baldwin]

===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===

===Database===
