Opening a blog entry for editing in Contribute
You can make changes to a blog entry in two ways. You can edit an entry directly in Contribute. Alternatively, if you
have an entry in a browser window, you can click the Edit in Contribute button to start Contribute, where you can
edit the entry. For more information, see "Opening a web page or blog entry for editing from your browser" on
page 39.
Note: If the Edit Page or Edit Entry button is not visible in the toolbar in the Contribute application, you aren't
connected to the blog server hosting the blog. Click the Create Connection button in the toolbar to create a connection
to the blog server.
To edit a blog entry in Contribute:
Browse to your blog home page.
1
From the Entries pop-menu, select the blog entry you want to manage, or select View > Select Blog Entry > blog
2
entry title and choose the relevant blog entry to edit. Alternatively, select View > Choose File or Blog Entry, and in
the Choose File or Blog Entry dialog box, click the Edit button.
The selected blog entry appears in the embedded browser, and the title of the selected blog entry is displayed in the
Entries pop-up menu.
Click the Edit Entry button or select File > Actions > Edit Entry.

The blog entry opens as a draft in Contribute. You can make your changes to the content as needed, and publish the
entry.
Note: You can link this blog entry to a blank blog entry and publish the entries. For more information, see "Linking to a
new blank blog entry" on page 136.
Opening a page for editing that is on your computer
You can use Contribute to edit pages that aren't on a website you've connected to; you can open an HTML page saved
on your computer and make your edits. The experience is similar to using Notepad or TextEdit, but it has the ease
of use and functionality of Contribute.
For example, suppose you receive an HTML page in e-mail that you need to edit for a coworker. Even if the page isn't
associated with a website you've connected to, you can save the page to your computer, open and edit the page in
Contribute, and return it to your coworker.
Note: Do not create a connection to your local drive. If you do, Contribute treats files saved on your computer as files on
a website, and the Direct Edit feature does not work properly.
To edit a web page that is on your computer:
In the Contribute browser or editor, select File > Open.
1
The Open dialog box appears.
Note: You cannot use this feature to open and edit TXT files saved on your computer.
Navigate to and select the file you want to edit, and then click Open.
2
The page opens as a draft in the Contribute editor; the toolbar contains Save and Close buttons instead of Publish
and Discard Draft buttons.
