NYCPHP Meetup

[Chris Hubbard]

I've used contribute.  Here's the gotcha's
First someone needs to use dreamweaver to create templates.  the 
templates need to have page edit blocks (forgot the macromedia term, I 
believe it's modify...templates...new edit block).  Its in the edit 
blocks that the artist can change his/her content without messing with 
the rest of the page.
Then those templates need to be uploaded to a Templates folder (by 
default) in the web site.
Then the artist can use Contribute to open and edit the files.

Alternatively, build a quick php app.  wouldn't be more than a couple 
hours.
