What happened to the "My Stuff" link? I loved this link because I could catch up on all the news. I can't find it now. What happened?

Tired of having to go to multiple web sites to stay up to date with the latest correction news? The National Institute of Corrections has just added a new service to the Corrections Community web site that lets you monitor your discussion forums, news, websites, and more from a single web page! It's called "My Stuff" and it is a free service for all members of the Corrections Community (which is also free).

This new page automatically checks for new information from your favorite forums, blogs and websites. You can simply scan through what's of interest to you quickly and easily without having to go to many different web sites.

How to get started:

Re: POSTS NOT READ

Hey! This is pretty cool! I am assuming that new posts will go directly into My Stuff from each forum that I put in My Stuff?

Also, once you have read a post in My Stuff and want to delete it, how can you do that?

Overall, I love it!

Thanks so much for the feedback and quick response...Jerry

What is the "My Stuff" page?

The "My Stuff" section allows you to organize your information. You tell the system which things your want to monitor, and when you go to this page, the system will go to all the forums, blogs, and other web sites you have added to your "My Stuff" page. The "My Stuff" page acts as a news aggregator.

How it works

Some web sites publish information in a special format that lets other web sites automatically retrieve that information. In the Community, all of our blogs and forums publish this ability. Also, the NIC web site (http://nicic.org) publishes information about its training programs and new library items. Look for icons that are orange or have the letters "RSS" (Real Simple Syndication) on them. You will copy the address (URL) that these icons link to, into your "My Stuff" page. The video will show you how to do this.
