). No placeholders. Must include ebook promotion paragraph at the end exactly as given. Must be 450-500 words. We need to output only article content, starting with “Title: …” then blank line then HTML content. We must count words. Let’s craft about 470 words. Structure: Then blank line. Then HTML content: we need to use WordPress block comments? They said plain HTML paragraphs and headings (e.g.,…
). So we need to include those comments for each paragraph? Probably yes. They gave example:…
. So we need to wrap each paragraph in that comment block. Also headings: maybe…
. We need to include sections: maybe headings for Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, etc. We must incorporate facts from ebook: generate price tags via mail merge, tabs, columns, SUMIF, COUNTIF, etc. Also list AI-generated database fields checklist. We must not use placeholders. Must be actionable. Let’s draft. Word count: need 450-500. We’ll write roughly 12 paragraphs of ~35-40 words each => ~480. Let’s draft content and then count. We’ll write: Title line. Then blank line. Then HTML. We’ll need to count words in the entire article after “Title: …” line? Probably include everything after title line. Safer to count entire output after title line? Usually they count article content only. We’ll count words in the HTML content (excluding title line). Let’s aim for ~470 words. Let’s draft. I’ll write paragraphs with comments. Paragraph 1: intro. Paragraph 2: Phase 1 template creation. Paragraph 3: Master Inventory tab details. Paragraph 4: Pricing Summary tab. Paragraph 5: Sale Day Logistics tab. Paragraph 6: Using SUMIF/COUNTIF for auto-calculations. Paragraph 7: Phase 2 AI integration workflow. Paragraph 8: AI cataloging platform usage for photo walk-through. Paragraph 9: Standardized naming convention for photo batches. Paragraph 10: Voice memo or quick notepad for measurements and flaws. Paragraph 11: Phase 3 database enhancement and sale management. Paragraph 12: Updating Sold column process. Paragraph 13: Mail merge for price tags. Paragraph 14: Final checklist summary. Paragraph 15: ebook promotion (given). We need to ensure word count. Let’s write each paragraph with approx 30-35 words. I’ll write and then count. I’ll write in a text editor mentally.
