Stefan has kindly helped me jump through several hurdles, so I successfully committed a small change to the Advanced User Guide (correcting invalid markdown for urls inside a table). I edited the text and used svn to update the site source.

I can login to the staging directory and see my change has had the expected effect, so now I want to publish it to the production site.

I have been very confused by the CMS "help" pages, but think I am doing mostly the correct things.

I created a google chrome bookmark containing the cms bookmarklet. I navigated to the updated page in the staging site. I activated the bookmarklet while on the page and entered my credentials. I selected the "publish" hyperlink and was taken to the publish page.

When I click the "diff" button, nothing happens and the request never completes.

When I crossed my fingers and hit the "submit" button (after adding a commit message", it took several minutes and eventually congratulated me on my update. However, when I was taken to the public page it had not been changed!

Can anyone help me finish the job? Obviously, once I have a "recipe" that I understand, I won't need to ask again!

Thanks,

Brian

p.s. Several apache projects actually put the recipe for their specific web sites on their wiki, but those I looked at don't really say anything different to the cms reference that I was trying to follow.
