Staying Informed of New Content With RSS

The best way to stay informed of new content on healthsystemCIO.com is by pulling RSS feeds right into your email inbox. As a reader, you have tremendous flexibility in deciding which postings to be notified about, and can customize your RSS readers to pull any or all of the following types of content:

• All Posts
• Only Posts Assigned To A Specific Category
• All New Comments
• Only Comments Assigned To A Specific Post

We personally use Microsoft Outlook as our email reader, and find it integrates beautifully with healthsystemCIO.com’s WordPress content-management system. The following examples apply to Outlook, and should generally apply to all RSS readers.

ALL POSTS

1. From the healthsystemCIO.com homepage, click on the orange RSS tab located in the top right corner of the site.
2. Select the option to add the feed to your reader.
3. Select Microsoft Outlook
4. A dialogue box will come up in Outlook asking “Add this RSS Feed to Outlook?”
5. Click on the “Advanced” tab.
6. Select “Change Folder”
7. Select “Inbox” and click “Ok”
8. Click “Ok”
9. Click “Yes”

(*Upon initial set up, all past items related to your RSS query will be pulled into your inbox. Going forward, only new items will be downloaded.)

POSTS ASSIGNED TO ANY SPECIFIC CATEGORY

1. Click on any category you see in the right sidebar of our site.
2. In the URL bar at the top of your screen, add the word “feed” to the end of the URL. For example, when clicking on the “cloud computing” category, the following URL appears in the URL bar: https://healthsystemcio.com/category/cloud-computing/ Adding “feed” to the end of the URL gives us the following URL: https://healthsystemcio.com/category/cloud-computing/feed
3. Block on the new URL (containing the word “feed”) and “copy” it.
4. In Microsoft Outlook, click on “Tools”
5. Click on “Account Settings”
6. Click on the “RSS Feeds” tab
7. Click on “New”
8. A dialogue box asks for the “location of the RSS feed you want to add to Outlook”
9. Paste in the following link you copied in step 2b.
10. In the new dialogue box, click on the “Change Folder” tab
11. Select “Inbox” and click “Ok”
