publish the page, it displays the current date.

To enable links in a draft based on a starter page:
•
To replace existing link text, select a link, and then type your link text.
Note: Not all links on the starter web pages look like typical links, with blue, underlined text. Links
might not be underlined and might have a different design treatment applied to them. When you
click an intended link on a draft based on a starter page, the status bar at the bottom of the
Contribute editor indicates that it is a link.
•
To make a link work, select a link, click the Link button in the toolbar, and then select Browse
to Web Page. Click the Browse or Choose button in the Insert Link dialog box to find and
select a page, and then click OK to close the Insert Link dialog box.
You need to make the links work, or delete the ones you don't want.
Tip: You can also link to a new web page, such as another starter web page, and modify the new
starter web page later. For more information, see
•
To add a link to a vertical navigation bar, select the row that contains the last link in the series,
and then select Edit > Copy. With the row still selected, click the Insert Row Below button in
the toolbar. Select the new row, and then select Edit > Paste.
For more information about working with links, see
page 127.

Creating a page based on a template
You can create a new page based on a template, which can help you maintain a consistent look
across your website. In Contribute there are two types of templates:
•
A template created in Macromedia Dreamweaver (see Dreamweaver Help > Using
Dreamweaver). A Dreamweaver template is a template that a designer creates for you with
editable and locked regions.
•
A page that your Contribute administrator designated as a template. Your Contribute
administrator can designate any page on your website as a template.
You can create a copy of either type of template to use as a starting point for your new page. The
only difference is that a Dreamweaver template has editable and locked regions (see
with pages based on Dreamweaver templates" on page
your Contribute administrator might not.
Remember to add a link to the new page before you publish it; otherwise, website visitors cannot
navigate to the page.
Note: It's a good idea to create the new page and a link to that page at the same time. To do that, see
