•
Select a page in the Templates folder to create a new page based on a Macromedia
Dreamweaver template (see Help > Using Dreamweaver in Dreamweaver MX), or based on a
page on your website that the website administrator designated as a template. A template
provides a starting point for your page and can provide a consistent look across your website.
When you select a page type, a page preview and a description appear.
Note: If your website administrator has restricted the types of new pages that you can create, then you might not
see all of these options when you create a page. For more information, see your website administrator or see
“Setting permissions for new web pages” on page 177.

Enter a title for the new page in the New page title text box.
This title appears in the browser title bar when a website visitor views the page; it does not
appear on the page itself.
8
Click the Advanced button to expand the dialog box, then set the advanced options as desired.
Note: For information about the advanced settings, see “Setting the advanced linking options” on page 110.

Click OK .
Contribute adds the link to your draft, then opens the new page in the Contribute editor.
Note: Contribute automatically saves the new page in the same folder as the draft that links to it (unless you
selected another website in Step 5). When you publish your draft, Contribute also publishes the new page. You
can change the folder location for the new page then if you need to.
Tip: To return to the page where you inserted the link, click its title in the Pages panel.
