A couple of people have asked me how to set up a separate RSS feed on their weblogs just for Macromedia Central. If you are using Moveable Type it is actually pretty simple.

• Login to the Moveable Type admin.
• Create a new Category in Movable Type. For this post, let's assume you name it Central.
• Create a new Template in Moveable Type
• On the Templates page, click the "Add a new Index Template" link.
• For Template Name and Output file, put central.rdf
• Make sure the rebuild automatically check box is checked.
• For the template body, add the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="<$MTPublishCharset$>"?>

If you did not name your new category Central then you will need to put the category name in the following line:

>MTEntries category="Central" lastn="15"<
