linking to Constant Contact email

[wmiller]

I send a lengthy weekly Constant Contact news magazine with many photos/graphics. I'd like to change each story to a "Read More" end that links to a page on my Weebly website. That would mean up to six pages for each issue. Is that possible and advisable on the Pro plan? Is there a better way to do it?

HI @wmiller You have unlimited pages with the Weebly editor. Is that what you are asking? If you would be able to create a site large enough for the amount of pages you need? 

[wmiller]

That would be half of the question, I guess. If you have a minute, go to willimiller.com and see what an Arts Blast looks like. I'd like to link the longer features to the website to keep the email shorter and Im not sure the best way to do it. For example, if I write a 700 feature, I'd like to have the first paragraph in the newsletter and then link that feature to the full feature on the website. That would mean every feature would have it's own page. Is that the best way to do it?

Thank you for responding.

[Bernadette3]

Sorry for missing your response. Yes, you could do it the way you are describing. What do you mean by 700 feature? 

[wmiller]

Sorry. 700-word feature.

[Bernadette3]

That shouldn't be an issue, @wmiller

One would think, but I haven't figured out how to do it. Should I be creating the complete Arts Blast on the website, then the Arts Blast newsletter in Constant Contact?

[Bernadette3]

It sounds like that's what you are trying to do, correct. First make the completed content on the website, then create your newsletter with a link to your website page? 

[wmiller]

I've been doing the exact opposite ever since I began sharing the newsletter on my website. I create the newsletter in Constant Contact and then embed the code on my website. 

[Bernadette3]

Ah.. I didn't catch that at first. And the reason you want to change is so that the newsletter is not so lengthy? 

[wmiller]

Yes.

You could still keep doing it that way if you wanted, I would think. The difference would be after adding the code to the Embed Code element in Weebly, you'll go back to what you made in Constant Contact and edit it to be shorter and include a link to the post.
