Contribute Online Training

 

Introduction

Contribute is easier to use than Dreamweaver and FrontPage, however it is also limited in what it can do. It's ideal for editing existing pages or creating new ones from existing pages. It cannot be used to create site structure.

What to expect from this tutorial

Contribute makes it easy to use to manage existing Web pages and to create new pages from existing ones, within an existing site structure. It is ideal for routine, low-level site maintenance.

With this training, you will learn how to publish Web pages using Contribute 3 or newer.

Contribute is good for

• Changing text on existing Web pages
• Cloning existing pages to create new ones
• Editing existing sets of breadcbrumbs and left navigation links

Contribute is not good for

• Creating new sub-directories and site structure
• Changing which set of breadcrumbs or left navigation links is attached to a page
• Editing JavaScript objects, such as encrypted email links
• Publishers anticipating highly active site development may want to consider using and alternative html editing program, such as Dreamweaver, instead.

To complete this training, you need:

• A copy of Contribute 3 or newer installed on your computer.
• A site to work on.
• If you want access to an existing live site as an official Web Author, please use the Contribute request form to have connection to the web server created for you.
