Subscribing to a RSS feed in Outlook

Friday, July 2, 2010 by Matt Durr
Chances are you already use a web app like Google Reader or Bloglines to
subscribe to RSS feeds, but did you know that you can get the same feeds right
in Outlook? While this might not be ideal for power users with hundreds of
feeds, it's great for keeping up with one or two blogs. Here's how to set this
up:

1.       Open Outlook, and look on the left side for the RSS Feeds
folder

2.       Right-click on RSS Feeds and select Add a New RSS
Feed

3.       In the box that opens, paste in the blog URL (e.g. http://www.thinketg.com/blogs.rss.ashx)

4.       Click Add,
and in the following box, click Yes

5.       If all went well, the feed is
now added and will automatically populate with recent and future blog
posts

6.       Depending upon the type feed, the articles may be abbreviated.
Our company blog is set up this way: simply look for View Article link (or
something similar). Clicking that link will take you to the full article on the
blog site.
