Changing the Community Server Contact Link Text

I believe this was the second or third stupid question that I asked on the Community Server forums. The default text for the link to the contact form is actually “Email”. I wanted this to read “Contact” (as it does now). Easy enough, right? Community Server stores its text strings in a file called Resources.xml. This bad boy is hiding in the \Languages\en-US folder under your CS root. All you need to do is find the resource tag that controls the text you’re looking for any you’re all set!

Yeah, right. If only it were that easy! The logical text to search for here is “>Email<”. Unfortunately, this turns up about thirty bajillion hits, none of which particularly screams “I am the link you are looking for,” especially if you’re a relative CS newb and not yet familiar with every feature of the software.

So I will save you the trouble: the resource key for the contact link is “Weblog_SubscriptionList_Contact”. This resource is rendered by the tag <Blog:ContactLink ID="ContactLink" runat="server" />.
