Accessing the RSS Activity Feed service file
After you set up the RSS Activity Feed service (see
“Setting up the RSS Activity Feed service”
on page 11
), the service reports activity on your website, including Publish, Delete, and Roll Back
events in specified folders.
You can use a news reader or aggregator, such as the one in Macromedia Central, to view your
syndication feed.
To install Macromedia Central to access the RSS Activity Feed service file:
1.
Download Macromedia Central from the Downloads page on the Macromedia website at
www.macromedia.com
.
When the installation is complete, Central launches.
2.
Click the
BlogReader
button at the top of the Central window to open the BlogReader
application.
3.
Click the
Preferences
button to add the RSS Activity Feed service to the BlogReader.
4.
When you complete the setup, you can use the BlogReader to view output from the RSS
Activity Feed service.
Note:
There will not be any output to view until an event occurs in Contribute.

Viewing the events log for a website
The Log service maintains an events log of website activity so that you can more easily
troubleshoot problems, and so you can see how many users actively update content on the
website.
Note:
If you have not enabled the Log service for your website, see
“Enabling or disabling E-mail and
Log services for a website” on page 7
