Start Contribute without a network connection

When you start Contribute, it checks your network connection so that it can connect to your website or blog. Contribute alerts you if it does not detect a connection. You can do one of the following in such circumstances.

  1. Start Contribute.

    The Connection Failure dialog box appears.

  2. Select Work Offline if you know that you’re not connected to the network. For more information, see Work offline.

  3. Select Try To Connect Anyway to force Contribute to continue checking for a network connection.

  4. If Contribute still fails to connect, Contribute displays an error message with two options:

    • Click Yes to continue trying to connect to other websites and blog servers.

    • Click No to disable the rest of your websites and blog servers. You can later enable them after you resolve your network connection problem.

  5. Click OK.

    Note: You can disable a website or blog at any time—not just at startup—when there’s a problem. If you have multiple websites and blogs, you can disable the ones you aren’t currently working on, so Contribute does not maintain the connection for an extended period of time. For more information, see Disable individual website and blog connections.
