Unsure about preparing a Dreamweaver Site for use withContribute
Recently I designed a small Dreamweaver Website (DW CS2) for a friend and it
is already successfully online. So that my friend can manage her own website,
I`ve decided to prepare this DW site for use with Contribute, but I'm unsure
about the steps involved and what files I will need to store on the server. Is
the following roughly correct?
Step 1: Define editable regions in these html files and save these as html
files.
Step 2: Enable Contribute Compatibility in DW before I upload to the server.
Step 3: Is setting up a Connection Key necessary for my friend`s access?
Step 4: Upload these. Do these completely overwrite the existing Dreamweaver
html files on the server? Or should I be saving in another file format?
Many thanks to anyone who can advise me!

Re: Unsure about preparing a Dreamweaver Site for usewith Contribute
I sugggest these steps:
A: Dreamweaver:
1. build you site based on (a) template(s) with editable regions
2. upload the website to the server
B: Contribute
1. create a connection
2. administer the website ( and create an admin password )
3. set the proper settings for your users (administrators, publishers,
writers), enable rollbacks
4. create a connection key fot you user with the proper role and save that to
disk
C: Dreamweaver
1. manage the site in dreamweaver
2. enable contribute compatibility (this way files get checked in and out, so
you know who is editing what)
D:
1. Sent the connection key to your user
