Creating channels on MyFiles
Posted by Kristen Treglia on June 19, 2009
For this week’s screencast, I’ll demonstrate a way to incorporate an RSS feed into your personal Fordham University information portal site on my.fordham.edu.
This feature that enables this is a portal “channel” called “My RSS”. Along with many other useful channels, this feature may be added to your personal Fordham University portal page as you customize it to suit your needs.
Although not as powerful as using a full-featured RSS reader such as those demonstrated in my previous posts on the topic (e.g. see posts demonstrating Google Reader, NetNewsWire, FeedDemon), using the “My RSS” channel can allow you to quickly check up on one of your most valuable RSS-enabled Web sites while conducting your daily business on the Fordham portal.
Documentation regarding the use of the Fordham portal as well as several screencast tutorials can be found on your portal home page.
