Using the RSS Activity Feed service

Contribute Publishing Server (CPS) provides an RSS Activity Feed service that adds a syndication
feed to your website to report changes that occur on the website.
The RSS Activity Feed service converts Publish, Delete, and Roll Back events into a syndication
feed based on the Atom specification. Atom is an XML-based web content and metadata
syndication format that creates lists of information, or feeds. Feeds contain a number of items, or
entries, and are typically viewed with a news reader or aggregator.
Note: For more information on the Atom specification, see www.atomeanbled.org.
Changes to pages in specified folders on your websites appear as individual entries in the
syndication feed. You can use this information to monitor activity on your websites managed by
CPS. To use the service, you need to perform some set-up tasks, and then use a news reader or
aggregator to view the output from the service.
Note: You can use the compiled version of this service as is, or you can extend the uncompiled
version to meet your specific needs. For information about extending the service, see
extending the RSS Activity Feed service" on page
