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.
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.
