Editing website and blog server connections

You can edit the connection information for any Contribute website or blog. You can modify a connection if any of its parameters change (for example, if you move a website to a different network location or change a blog's URL).

Note: If you import a connection key for a website, the only connection information you can edit is your name and your e-mail address.

Tip: If you have open drafts, you can't change your name or e-mail address for the website belonging to those drafts, nor can you change your user name or password for the blog belonging to those drafts. You must close the drafts before you can change that information.

To edit a website or blog server connection:

  1. Select Edit > My Connections (Windows) or Contribute > My Connections (Macintosh).

    The My Connections dialog box appears.

  2. Select a website or blog server from the list of connections.
  3. Click the Edit button.

    The Connection Wizard or Connection Assistant appears.

  4. Navigate through the Connection Wizard or Connection Assistant using the Next or Continue button, and modify the necessary website or blog server connections settings.

    For more information on the Connection Wizard or Connection Assistant website and blog server settings, see Creating a website connection and Creating a blog server connection.

  5. When you have modified the necessary connection settings for a website and verified that they are correct, you must send a connection file to users containing the new connection setting information.
