Publishing St Louis Music Notes

Note: You must use Firefox for this work.

Before you begin, copy all the text you received from Dennis Stegmann into a plain text editor.

Proofread and gently edit the text. Create a lede (first sentence or two) and body text, and separate out the video URL and the Source clearly. Your final plain text doc could look something like this: http://wiki.kdhx.org/wiki/File:St-music-notes-plain-text.jpg

Log in to the back end of KDHX.org: http://kdhx.org/administrator
