Macromedia Contribute 3 Tutorial

Linking to a New Page

You can also link to a new page. This option allows you to create the link and the new page at the same time. Choosing "create new page" from the link menu will open a menu where you can specify what kind of page you want to create.

To start from scratch, select "Blank Web Page." and give your new page a title. You may also create a new page from a template, if your site is set up with templates. If so, you will see files in the templates folder.

Creating a new page from a template will set up parts of the page (such as the navigation or page header) automatically for you. Also, the template may allow you only to edit certain parts of a page, known as editable regions. If you are editing a page created from a template, it will look like this.

On this template, you can only edit the area contained in the "Content" box. All of the other elements on the page are static.

When you choose what type of new page you want and click OK, Contribute will automatically save a draft of your current page and open your new page for editing.
