If you have looked through the portal, you will have noticed a whole bunch of little orange icon. These are RSS feeds. We use these for our blogs, groups, forums and uploaded materials.
If you click on the icon, it brings you to a page that you can use to grab the latest items for that category. You can use that page to have other programs and services such as Outlook, My Yahoo and Google reader automatically fetch these for you. This allows you to get feeds from multiple sources and keep updated on all of them in one place.
This video gives a brief description of what RSS is and how you can use it.
