How to Create a Blog Post
I forgot to mention in the video that you can (and should) select multiple categories when applicable. I actually should have also checked off the “News” category for the post I created.

Embed a YouTube Video
Simply paste the URL to the YouTube video on a new line, and it will automatically embed the video in your post or page.

This video shows how to add PUL email aliases in G Suite and connect them to personal email addresses under the board@pultimate.ca address. Routing to personal email addresses is done using filters within the board@pultimate.ca Gmail account.
Adding Categories to MailChimp for Email Subscription
Every time the categories change in WordPress, or a new category is added, it needs to be reflected within MailChimp in order for “Subscribe to Category” functionality to keep working. So let’s try not to mess with the categories!
This video is only in here in case I forget how I did this… or if I die and someone else needs to learn how to do it. Otherwise it can be ignored and all will be fine.
