 ## Instructions
 
-1. Get a Raku Wordpress account from an admin on IRC #raku or #raku-dev
-   (jmerelo, timotimo, moritz, tbrowder ...).
+1. Get a Raku Wordpress account from an admin on IRC #raku or #raku-dev (librasteve, timotimo, moritz, tbrowder ...).
 
-2. Write your article using Github Markdown.  **Note that it is
-   recommended to have each paragraph in the markdown source file
-   collapsed into one long line before using one of the html converter
-   tools listed in the next step.  That is necessary in order to get
-   the html formatting correct (Wordpress doesn't remove newlines
-   inside html text content)**.
+2. Write your article as a DRAFT on the Raku Advent Wordpress site.
 
-   * An easier way is to write the article in Raku Pod, then transform
-     it to Markdown by using Raku's built-in converter.
-     A great advantage of this method is multiple lines in
-     paragraphs are collapsed into single lines automatically.
+3. Use [Hilite::Simple](https://raku.land/zef:librasteve/Hilite::Simple) to highlight any raku or rakudoc code in your article (paste the results into a Wordpress HTML widget and use Preview to check it).
 
-     ~~~
-     $ raku --doc=Markdown my-article.pod > my-article.md
-     ~~~ 
+4. When your article is ready for publication, you can announce it on the IRC \#raku channel and someone with the proper credentials will schedule its live publication at the proper time.
 
-3. Convert the file to Wordpress html format using one of the two
-   tools here (see para 2 for an important note before using one of
-   these tools). The first method is currently the easiest
-   to use and gives much better results.
-
-   * Raku module **Acme::Advent::Highlighter** See intructions at its
-     repository [here](https://github.com/raku-community-modules/Acme-Advent-Highlighter).
-     Note the html output has two embedded html comments telling the
-     user where to delete lines before inserting the remainder into
-     Wordpress.
-
-   * [tools/raku-advent-md2html.raku](tools/raku-advent-md2html.raku) Execute it
-     without an argument to see instructions.
-
-4. Insert the converted file into Wordpress.

-5. When your article is ready for publication, you can announce it
-   on the IRC \#raku channel and someone with the proper credentials
-   will schedule its live publication at the proper time.
