How do I do this? I have done some wiring work (safely). My thought was to

That is wrong, the outlet simply needs to go in parallel with the
outside light. If you don't know how to do that, call a licensed
electrician.

I think I understand. Pigtail the always on hot wire to the switch and run
hot from that connection to the outlet. Pigtail neutral wire to the switch
and attach neutral from outlet. Is that right?
