Create a blog server connection using the blog URL

  1. Start Contribute.

  2. In the Create New area, click the Blog Connection link.

    The Choosing a Connection screen of the Create Connection wizard appears.

  3. By default, the Blogs option is selected in the What do you want to connect to pop-up menu.

  4. Select Other Blog Servers from the Who hosts your blog pop-up menu if your blog is hosted on an internal server that supports the MetaWeblog protocol.

    The What is the URL of your blog text box and Browse button appear.

  5. (Optional) In the What is the URL of your blog text box, type or browse to the URL of the home page of your blog.

  6. Click Next.

    The Blog Site Connection Information screen of the Create Connection wizard appears.

    If you selected Blogger, or if Contribute is able to find the access point of the blog server whose URL you specified, only the Enter your blog server user name and Enter your blog server password text boxes appear. However, if you selected Other Blog Servers, or if Contribute is unable to find the access point of the blog server you specified, the Blog Protocol pop-up menu (which is disabled) and the Access Point text box also appear.

  7. Enter your user name in the Enter your blog server user name text box.

  8. Enter the password to connect to your blog in the Enter your blog server password text box.

  9. If the Access Point text box appears, specify the Access Point.

    The Access Point is a URL used to connect to your Blog server.

    Note: Click the Back or Go Back button to return to a previous screen if necessary.

  10. Click Done.

Contribute creates a connection to the blog server and the blog’s home page appears in the Contribute browser.
