RSS Introduction

Someone said something about RSS training? And what is RSS?
RSS is a way to put live bookmarks on your browser and/or in Outlook so you can monitor posts to blogs without actually going to a blog’s website. At the moment you need to come to the portal page to see what’s posted – it doesn’t automatically send you a message when there are new posts. It is possible to use an RSS feed, however, that makes it easy to check for new posts without actually coming to the page. On Feb 4 we will hold a training session in Bierce 274 from 1-2 pm.

Put it on your calendar!
RSS Feed introduction and training – Feb 4, 1.00-2.00pm, Bierce 274
