▶ What is the Activity Stream?
If you’re logged in, you’ll see the Status Update box the top of the Activity Stream, where you can add your own updates to OutdoorOttawa. Every piece of content that’s added to OutdoorOttawa appears in the Activity Stream.
On the homepage, the Activity Stream shows all the blog posts, pictures, videos, external links, comments, etc., from across the whole site.
If you go into one of the sections, like Hiking, the Activity Stream shows all the updates, pics, vids, etc., from Outdoor Activities that involve hiking, like Gatineau Park Hiking Trails and the Wolf Trail hike.
If you go into a single Outdoor Activity, like Gatineau Park Hiking Trails, the activity stream shows all the updates, pics, vids, etc., for that single Outdoor Activity.
Your personal profile also shows your own Activity Stream.▶ How Do I Register?
Simply click on the "Login with Facebook" or "Register with Facebook" button for a one-click registration with OutdoorOttawa. You'll need to confirm that OutdoorOttawa can access your profile, but I assure you no information is gathered.▶ Find Outdoor Activities
▶ Navigating Outdoor Ottawa
Main Menu
There are really four types of content on OutdoorOttawa, and it’s all accessible through the Main Menu:
Activities Pages
The icons along the left side of the site are Activity pages: the quickest way to see what’s new in the outdoor activities you like. Clicking on any of these icons will bring you to a page dedicated to that activity, with all the latest blog posts, activity updates, events and galleries, all pulled into one convenient page.
There are also two special icons for pages dedicated to Gatineau Park and the National Capital Greenbelt.
These icons may vary depending on the season!
Search for What You Want
You’ll also notice a Search bar at the top of the site at all times. This powerful search tool will return all the blogs, activities, members, galleries, and member updates that match your search term.
