Each monthly Media News page is updated using basic HTML as follows.
The process starts by cutting the text and associated links from the full section of articles in the Weekly Newsletter mailing and pasting it to the bottom of the existing Media News page for the month. If this is the first entry for the month, this will just be from the top of the page.
The transfer will be just as plain text so some reformatting will be required. A simplified example of the cut and paste for two articles from a newsletter before any reformatting is shown below. The Read More text from the article links will appear several lines below the associated article but must first be attached immediately below the last line in the entry, so the spurious lines must be deleted.
One line space should then be inserted between the Read More text and the title of the next article.
This is how it should look after initial reformatting.

The top line for each entry must them be formatted as shown below.
* An index link target is inserted at the beginning of the line of the format <a id=”xxxN”></a> where xxx is the name of the pier all in lowercase and with no spaces between words and N is an integer indicating the number of times that pier has an article in this month.
eg. <strong><a id=”sandown1″></a></strong>
* The title text is then made bold.
eg. Sandown Pier – Owners’ Reservations to Proposed Government Taxations
So the full top line would look like:-
<a id=”sandown1″></a><strong>Sandown Pier – Owners’ Reservations to Proposed Government Taxations</strong>
