ADOBE CONTRIBUTE CS3 62 User Guide • 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 must make the links work, or delete the ones you don't want. 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 "Linking to a new page" on page 134. • 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 "Working with Links" on page 133. Creating a web page based on a template You can create a 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 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 "Working with web pages based on Dreamweaver templates" on page 47), and a page designated as a template by your Contribute administrator might not. You can create a blog entry based on a template if your blog publishing service generates Dreamweaver templates for your blog. To know more about creating blog entries, see "Creating a blog entry for your blog" on page 63. 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 for websites and blog entries. For more information, see "Linking to a new page" on page 134 and "Linking to a new blank blog entry" on page 136. To create a page based on a template: 1 In the Contribute browser, click the New button in the toolbar, or select File > New. The New Web Page or Blog Entry dialog box opens. 2 In the Create new web page or blog entry for pane, do the following: a Expand the website in which you want to create the new page, if it is not already expanded. b Expand the Templates folder, and then select a template. Note: If you don't see the Templates folder, your Contribute administrator has restricted the types of new pages that you can create. For more information, talk to your Contribute administrator or see "Settings for new web pages" on page 223. A preview of the page you select appears in the Preview pane on the right side of the dialog box. 3 Enter a page title in the Page title text box. This title appears in the browser title bar when a website visitor views the page; it does not appear on the page itself. 4 Click OK.
