Manufacturer's Description:
Adobe Contribute CS3 software enables anyone to quickly and easily update existing websites and blogs. With Adobe Contribute CS3, content authors can post and publish content to multiple websites and blogs from a single application or publish directly from within Microsoft Office applications. Website administrators can reduce their workload by distributing work among content contributors or designated website editors. And because Adobe Contribute CS3 works seamlessly with Adobe Dreamweaver software, website integrity is maintained-even when multiple authors update content across the site.

Key Features:
Reduce editing time by enabling content contributors to update multiple websites and blogs from a single application without learning HTML - The WYSIWYG authoring capabilities within Adobe Contribute CS3 enable content authors and contributors to edit or update any website or blog in three simple steps, dramatically reducing editing time. Simply browse to the website or blog entry using any web browser, click Edit to make changes to the website or blog entry, and click Publish when ready to post the new content. Users can add rich media, images, and Adobe Flash (FLV) files in Edit mode by dragging the file onto the open website or blog entry-Adobe Contribute CS3 automatically uploads the file and posts it to the site when published. With Contribute CS3, users can embed Adobe PDF documents directly into web pages or blog entries. Contribute CS3 users can also convert Microsoft Office documents into PDF format and insert them into a web page. (Requires the installation of Adobe Acrobat software, sold separately. Acrobat CS3 Professional is included with Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and Master Collection.)

Maintain website integrity and look and feel through integration with Adobe Dreamweaver templates - Because Adobe Contribute CS3 is integrated with Dreamweaver CS3, site administrators can create page templates with editable regions during website creation and delegate routine content updates to users without compromising site integrity. Just like with Dreamweaver, code quality and formats are preserved through the editing process with Adobe Contribute CS3.

Control website authoring permissions with site administration and connection management consoles - Site administrators can use fine-grained permissions to ensure that only authors with permissions can update specified website content, thereby preserving site integrity and content approval workflows.

Give users the ability to post and publish content from within Microsoft Office applications - Integration between Adobe Contribute CS3 and Microsoft Office applications - including Excel, Outlook, and Word, enables content contributors to publish directly from these applications to target websites and blogs, maintaining site look and feel and reducing editing time. Just open the document that contains the content you want to post, click Publish, and select the target website or blog.

Help users within the organization get started with blogging - Adobe Contribute CS3 makes it easy for users to start blogging; using the same familiar environment they use to update website content. Work offline; then publish when ready. Avoid losing content due to a lost connection or unintended keystroke. Easily add tags to blog entries without messy HTML coding, and use any tag repository to help other users find the blog content. With Adobe Contribute CS3, users can post to multiple blogs from a single application, saving time and money. Plus, multiple users can simultaneously post new content to the same blog, improving content freshness.

Customer Reviews

Workable by dummies
This product is easy for the straightforward stuff and gives great access to a website run by a web manager. However more detailed working rules ie how to align text and details like that would make the product really good.
