Creating A New Page And A Link To The Page - MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE-USING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual

Both types of templates enable you to create a copy of an existing template so that you can
maintain a consistent look on your website, and give you a starting point for your new page. The
only difference is that a Dreamweaver template has editable and locked regions (see "Working
with pages based on Dreamweaver templates" on page 38), and a page designated as a template by
your website administrator might not.
There are two ways you can add a page based on a template to your website:
•
Create a new page and a link to the page
For example, suppose you are updating your home page, and you want to add a link to a
contact information page that you haven't created yet. From the home page, you can insert a
link and create the contact page at the same time.
•
Create the new page
For example, suppose you create a page for a new product. After you create the page, you can
go to the Products Overview page, and add a link to the new product page.

Creating a new page and a link to the page

It's a good idea to create a link to a new page when you create the new page. This way, you don't
have to remember to link to the page later, and you ensure that users will be able to navigate to
your page when you publish it.
From an existing page, you can insert a link to a new page, which Contribute creates at the same
time it inserts the link.
After you create your page, you can set page properties (see "Setting page properties" on page 51)
or add search keywords and a description for the page (see "Adding keywords and a description
for a page" on page 53).

Browse to an existing page where you want to insert a link to a new page, then click the Edit
