Chapter 5: Adding Pages, Blog Entries,
and Documents
With Adobe® Contribute® CS3, you can add pages to your website. You can create a blank web page, a copy of a web
page, a copy of a sample web page, or a web page based on a template. In addition to creating web pages, you can add
existing content from Microsoft Office documents, such as Word or Excel files, to your website, and add Adobe Flash
video files to a web page.
You can also use Contribute to create a stand-alone page that is not associated with one of your websites by saving
the new page to your computer. And, finally, you can add a printable document to your website by converting it to
an Adobe® Flash® Player 9 document.
With Contribute, you can create and post blog entries to your blog. You can also create a blank blog entry, create a
blog entry by quoting a selection from a web page you are viewing, or create a blog entry from existing information
you select in your browser or in Microsoft Office documents, such as Word or Excel files.
In addition to creating blog entries, you can:
• Add MP3 files and other content to a blog entry by creating an enclosure.
• Add categories, which you can use to group related blog entries.
• Select the blog you want to publish the entry to.
• Set preferences to do the following for blog entries:
- Allow users to add comments.
- Allow users to link to a blog entry by using its trackback URL.
- Specify the ping server URLs you want Contribute to notify when you post a blog entry.
- View a list of failed pings to the ping servers.
- Determine where Contribute adds tags to blog entries and specify details about the tag repository.
After you create a web page, you can change its properties or even add keywords or a description for the web page
so that website visitors can use a search engine to find the page.
You can also use the Contribute toolbar in Microsoft applications such as Word, Excel, and Outlook to insert the
documents into Contribute, make changes, and publish to the websites you are connected to.
