Connecting to a web site

Contribute enables you to connect to your website quickly and easily. Your Contribute website administrator will likely do one of the following to help set up a connection for you:

• Send you an e-mail with a connection key, or a link or network location for you to download the connection key. The connection key contains all of the network information Contribute needs to connect to your website.
  
• Provide you with the necessary connection information and have you enter the information in the Connection Wizard.

Launching Contribute without a network connection

When you launch Contribute, it checks your network connection so that it can connect to your website. Contribute alerts you if it does not detect a connection. If you launch Contribute without a network connection and receive the Connection Failure alert, you have two choices:

• Select Work Offline if you know that you’re not connected to the network and you want to use the Contribute work offline feature.
  
• Select Try to Connect Anyway if you aren’t sure what the problem is and you want Contribute to try to connect again. If Contribute still cannot connect, you can choose to disable the website and continue checking your other website connections, if any.

If the problems persist, contact your Contribute site administrator.
