Set template properties for a web page

You can change template properties and customize templates when you work in web pages or blogs in Contribute. You can change template properties such as background color on a web page. You can customize blog templates by adding extra fields in the Dreamweaver template file, which is created automatically after you start working in a blog in Contribute.

The Dreamweaver template designer might make it possible for you to show or hide parts of the page. You control this content in the Template Properties dialog box. Pages based on a template might have editable attributes, such as background color, that you can edit in Template Properties.

  1. Browse to a template-based page; then click the Edit Page button in the toolbar.
