Here's a screen shot that shows the six bits of info we need to configure your server. They are explained below.
1. The domain name of your server. This is the name your users will access the server through. Before setting it up here, visit your domain registrar to be sure the domain is already pointing to the server. Or if you don't want to come up with your own name, you can use the one Amazon gave your server.
2 & 3. These two bits form the username and password for Amazon S3. You can quickly find out what they are on the Security Credentials page on the AWS website.
4 & 5. When a user posts a new story or the feed reader shares some static renderings, they are all stored in an S3 bucket. In this section you tell us which bucket to use, and how you want us to refer to it. You can use the URL that Amazon provides, or map your own domain to a bucket. We have a doc that explains how to map a pretty name to a bucket.
6. Your admin password. This is the key that lets you edit the settings of your server. As usual, pick something memorable that's hard to guess.
Follow the instructions and you'll quickly set up a server for a community of people posting and reading news.
OPML on your desktop
Install the OPML Editor on your desktop. A lot of things on the server work better if you're running the editor on your desktop.
