After creating your connection, you can now create or edit pages on your website. As you open the connection, you will find that Contribute operates much like a web browser. Use back, forward and refresh the way you would in a browser. Notice you can enter any URL address too.
Using Contribute you can actually visit any site on the Internet.

Links: To create links, first highlight the text or graphic/picture and then click on the link button. You should see this menu of choices:
Images: To add pictures, click on the Image button. You should see this menu:
Tables: To add a table, decide the number of rows and columns before you start. Change the border thickness to 0 to create an invisible frame for your pictures or text.
