It has a few annoyances, but I like it better than trying to type directly into WordPress. As you would expect, Adobe has provided a sophisticated tool. Contribute sets up a template that lets you edit a blog entry within an editable area on a page that replicates the blog itself. The editing tools are impressive too: along with basic HTML formatting, there is an Insert menu offering Flash, Video and PDF, a spell checker, a table editor, and an image editor with options to rotate, crop, sharpen, set brightness and adjust contrast.

Your host may provide the option of installing a blog. For example, many hosting accounts have fantastic which using has an option to install WordPress. Dreamweaver is a very useful tool for customising a blog once set up. But beyond that it's limited for the actual process of blogging. Unfortunately this functionality seems a bit unreliable at the moment.
I'm having problems with Contribute CS3 as well, which are kind of like yours but kind of not. I run on Mac OS X In the beginning the only problem I was having was that images placed from my desktop machine were not being uploaded I did my best to keep the sizes within spec as I understand them but Contribute would refuse to publish.
I figured I could work around it and didn't let it bother me much. In the last two days, though, I've experienced frustration. Mine takes the form of trying to bring up a post for editing, only to have Contribute quite suddenly begin to tell me that I "have no connection" to the website The connection was made!
Before this I was having no trouble calling up individual posts for editing. I'm rather disappointed to find the absolute dearth of troubleshooting information available. Samuel, sorry to hear the problems you are having. Though a bit jealous that you were at least able to re-edit a post.
I'm equally frustrated at the limited attention Adobe seem to be giving to these problems. Blogging in Contribute CS3 is bug ridden.
I didn't specifically buy the software for this purpose. But it sure would make my life easier if it worked. Well, for what it's worth, I filed a bug report with Adobe and began posting about the progress of this on my own blog. They're bending over backward to help.
Samuel, bug report is the way to go. Not just from a personal perspective but also in giving them a chance to fix the problem. But when the problem isn't mission critical it can be hard to get motivated enough to file the report. I'll be interested to see if you get some resolution.
Well, I did have some individual in India look at it and try to help last night. However, the solution they found was something I had already tracked down, to wit: the forwarding of my feed to Feedburner seems to cause complete inability for opening extant entries for editing. A problem that persists is that changes made in editing are not retained.
