Introduction
For professional web designers and developers, and for website administrators, ensuring
that website and blog content remains fresh and current is an enormous challenge. Ofen,
this means delegating responsibility for updating web content and authoring blog entries to
numerous contributors, which can put website integrity at riskespecially when disparate
tools are used for the diferent tasks. With Adobe Contribute CS3, anyone can quickly and
easily update multiple websites and blogs using a single application while never compromis-
ing site integrity.
Simply browse to a website that needs updating or a blog that requires a new entry. Make
changes to the content using Adobe Contribute CS3 and publish when fnished. Or publish
content directly from Microsof Word, Excel, or Outlook. Integration between Contribute
CS3 and Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 sofware ensures that the website look and feel will stay
consistenteven when multiple authors update content across the site. Fine-grained website
authoring permissions let site administrators maintain control over who updates which
content at all times.

CS3, anyone can update website content or create blog entries using a single application.
True WYSIWYG authoring capabilities let users edit any website or blog in three simple
steps, dramatically reducing editing time. Rich media, images, movies, and even Adobe
Flash Video can easily be included in any website or blog using Adobe Contribute CS3.
Because authors edit content and add images in their actual context on the website or blog

Maintain website integrity with Dreamweaver integrationContribute CS3 uses
Dreamweaver CS3 templates, ensuring accurate updates to websites designed with
Dreamweaver. Look and feel is never compromised, even when multiple authors update
content across the site. Authors can only update areas designated by the designer or
webmaster, so the site always appears as the designer intended. And just like Dreamweaver,
Contribute preserves code quality and formats throughout the editing process.

site administrators can be certain that only authorized contributors can update specifed
website content. Fine-grained permissions let administrators defne who can edit a website
or specifc content on a page within a website. Administrators can also limit certain users

of the web page with just a few clicks.

site administrators to get users started with blogging, using the same familiar environment
they use to update website content. Users can work ofine and then publish when ready,

other users fnd the blog content. With Adobe Contribute CS3, users can post to multiple
