Creating a new site in Contribute

All site maintenance in Contribute can be conducted from the My Connections dialog box. Edit > My Connections.

Click the New button. The Connection Wizard appears. The Connection Wizard guides you through setting up a new connection. As you complete each screen of the Connection Wizard, click the Next button to move to the next screen (or click the Back button to return to a previous screen, if necessary).

Your non-technical content providers will use the Connection Key you sent them at this point in the process.

If, however, as a site administrator you are ever required to set up a site for one of your users without using a connection key, it's much the same as setting up a site definition in Dreamweaver. Supply user information during the Connection Wizard.

• Name and e-mail address required are required.
• Web address of your site. Use a complete URL.
• Connection information, such as remote folder, server name, username, password, etc.

Next you will have to provide the specific path to your remote folder. This is the location on the FTP server of the specific folder that contains your web site.

The final step of the wizard is to specify what permissions group the new content provider belongs to. If "administrator" is specified, the content provider will not be able to access the site unless they also have the admin password.

As in the other connection wizards in Contribute, a summary screen will appear when the wizard is completed.
