[Hidden-tech] Reassigning Macromedia Contribute 2 from PC to new iMac

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Naaz,

The short answer is, yes, to use Contribute on your new iMac you need  
to purchase a Mac version of Contribute and then setup both sites with  
your connection keys.

If you rebuilt the "funky" site in iWeb, to use Contribute on the new  
iWeb-built site, you would have to bring the site into Dreamweaver and  
enable it for Contribute and generate a Contribute a connection key.  
I'm assuming you don't have or use Dreamweaver since you mentioned iWeb.

Based on that assumption, how did you enable the "funky" site to work  
with Contribute if not in Dreamweaver? A third-party, perhaps?

I focus primarily on Joomla-based CMS sites, and I only have a couple  
of clients currently using older versions of Contribute so I'm not  
aware if the most recent version of Contribute can be set up to  
connect directly to an HTML site on its own. They've added a lot of  
very cool features to Contribute in the recent versions, but I know it  
is still tightly integrated with Dreamweaver as a means of separating  
underlying design from content management.

Hope this helps,
Kimo
