Copy preset newspaper paragraphs (templates) and links under the "Newspapers" heading for each of Utah's 29 counties. Then adapt the paragraphs and links to the county.  
Add information and adapt links under the "Newspapers" heading for each of Utah's 29counties.  


FYI: Using templates allows wording to be consistent from county to county. Changes can be made in one place and appear wherever those templates were posted.  
The wording and most links have been put into "templates" which allow changes to be made in one place and appear wherever those templates were posted.
*If you have changes to suggest, ....


It is expected that this task will take 15 - 30 minutes per county.

*No matter how many newspapers are listed, add the appropriate date range in " covering [dates]..."


3. Review what others had put in the Newspapers heading previously.  
**''[title of newspaper]'' and ''[title of newspaper]'', covering 1881-1929 are included.


*Adapt any that pertain to the Digital Newspapers project to our format.

1. Change "=Utah&amp;county=Beaver" to current county.<br>
2. Change "**[[Beaver County, Utah " to current county.<br>(Yes, it's just that simple.)
:FYI: This creates a link to a blank page. I will use your link and in Excel create the town and date list and the page (almost automatically). It's too tough to explain, and easy to do for 29 counties.
3. Type in the '''Summary''', "Adapted links to current county" and '''Save page'''
