- Why subscribe?
- RSS is a great way to get your information both fast and filtered.
- For advanced filtering of RSS feeds, try Yahoo Pipes.
- However, WordPress makes this even easier by allowing for a wealth of atomic searching and filtering options. Choosing the right template (and content strategy), if you click on any of the linked items in either the category list or tag cloud on WordPress,
- the resulting page will include an RSS link
, or simply add “/feed” to the URL of your category, tag or even search result page, to get a feed that you can subscribe to.
- How to subscribe?
- MS-Outlookmakes subscribing to RSS more convenient since you do not need to go to a separate application like an RSS-Reader. Read your RSS with your email, think of the RSS feed as an email list, but personalized to your interests.

You can subscribe to the “RSS feed” link like so:
- For historical reasons, I still use Google Reader, but I rely on Outlook’s advanced automated content download (including full text posts and multimedia attachments) and well-understood archiving, search and export features to not miss podcasts which I want to collect for potential use as teaching content:
When Outlook fails, as with some RSS formats, you can still try and resort to the Internet Explorer Feed store: 
-
- If you use OWA: you can read feeds, but not add them through the OWA interface. If you are staff, you can still add them in Outlook first. If you are a student and restricted to NINERMAIL, you need to use a different feed reader. I recommend the free web-based Google Reader.

- If you log in on http://mail.uncc.edu and see this:

- Click Save at the top of the screen
- Sign out in the upper right hand corner
- Go back to mail.uncc.edu and login normally without checking the ‘light version’ box, and you will see this:
- Not sure how you managed to inadvertently set it to “low vision”, but this is how to fix it, per our helpdesk.
