Updating Pages on Your Department/Program/Center Web Site

Weinberg Web Communications recommends that most faculty/staff use Adobe Contribute for updating department/program/center web sites. Advanced users may opt to update department/program/center web sites with Adobe Dreamweaver. The currently supported versions are Contribute CS3 or CS4 (preferred) and Dreamweaver CS3 or CS4.

If possible, users of older versions of Dreamweaver should upgrade to Dreamweaver CS3/CS4. Otherwise, please consult SFTP for Windows or SFTP for Macintosh to upload pages.

Adobe Contribute Tips

#1: To create a line break without a line space, hold the shift key as you tap the "Enter" key.

Contribute indent button

#2: Need to indent a single line, or one or more paragraphs, of text? Use the indent button (see image) NOT the space bar. Why? Because using the spacebar will result in a string of non-breaking spaces that could size differently on different browsers, resulting in a ragged left margin, or create awkward and unnatural sentence wrapping.

Detailed information about using Contribute is also available on this site.
