to your website or blog server. Click the Publish button, and Contribute replaces the existing page or blog entry on
your web server or blog with the edited version. Contribute also unlocks the file on the server so other users can edit
the page or blog entry.
Note: In Contribute, the permissions for the role you belong to determine whether you can publish web pages. If you
cannot publish web pages, use the Send for Review option to transfer the draft to another user. Depending on the
protocols that your blog server supports, you may be limited in the type of content you can publish in your blog entries.
Connecting to a website or blog
Contribute lets you connect to your website or blog quickly and easily.
Connecting to a website
Your Contribute administrator does one of the following to help set up a connection to your website for you:
• Send you an e-mail message with a website connection key file (see "Using a website connection key" on page 12).
The connection key contains all the network information that Contribute needs to connect to your website.
Note: Connection keys are used only with website connections; they are not used for blog connections.
• Give you the necessary connection information for the website so you can enter the information in the
Connection Wizard (see "Creating a website connection" on page 183).
If you use a Macintosh computer and have a .Mac account, Contribute detects the .Mac account and asks if you want
to create a connection to it.
If your website is managed by Contribute Publishing Server, your administrator sends you a connection key or gives
you connection information to enter in the Contribute browser address bar.
Connecting to a blog
To connect to a blog, you need the necessary connection information for the blog so you can enter the information
in the Connection Wizard. You can use the MetaWeblog API to connect to a blog account that is hosted on a blog
publishing service, such as Blogger, WordPress, Roller, or TypePad or an internal server. If you use a Macintosh
computer and have a .Mac account, Contribute detects the .Mac account and asks if you want to create a connection
to it.
Note: Connection keys are not used for blog connections; they are available only for website connections.
For more information about connecting to a blog, see "Creating a blog server connection" on page 184.
Using a website connection key
Your Contribute administrator might provide a connection key, which you can use to establish a connection to your
website. The connection key contains all the network information that Contribute needs for connecting to your
website.
The Contribute administrator sends you an e-mail message with the key. The connection key is either a file or a URL.
Note: Your Contribute administrator might give you the network location from which to download the connection key
instead of sending you an e-mail message.
When you finish editing your page or blog entry, you can publish the page or blog entry
