Scott Swedorski, I am trying to do this and when I paste the html into Wordpress, the newsletter is there but is all messed up. I tried using the Blank Slate plugin so I can paste it into a plain page that is not part of my template but you can see what I get http://doig-corporation.com/doigtalk-may-2016-newsletter/

I also tried http://unminify.com/ but that didn't work either.

What am I missing?

Hi Melissa,
Can you tell us what's messed up as the page I'm looking at looks fine.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hmmmm, I've tried it in Chrome and Firefox and what I see isn't correct. Should be an all white background with everything and the spacing is all off. See attached for a snapshot of what I am seeing.

Hi Melissa,

My guess would be there is some css conflicts within wordpress itself. This would cause issues like you are seeing here and is one of the main reasons I stopped using WP a long time ago.

Quick question, do you have the personal or business version of RED.

Your page structure needs work. If you look at the source code there are several replicated tags that need to be removed.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en" style=""> <head></head> <body></body>

Hi, I am using RED Business. As for the replicated tags, I think I am finally figuring out what I need to do. Once I remove those duplicate tags, it should work. Crossing my fingers and toes ;)

I removed the duplicate tags before pasting the text into the text area in WP. Still looks the same. http://doig-corporation.com/doigtalk-ma … ewsletter/

Confused.

There's still two <body> tags.
