RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication (or Rich Site Summary). RSS provides a way for websites to let people receive automatic summaries of new content that has been posted. This is called an RSS feed and is posted online as a text file in a format called XML.

Website RSS is available (newinfo.cfm) also and pulls in pages, news, calendar, filing cabinet and job posting updates. The updates only show if they will be happening within the next 30 days. Uupdates are pulled to the newinfo.cfm page every six hours; around 6 am, noon, 6 pm and midnight. If a site admin makes an update at 8 am, it will not appear until noon. Please contact the Support team to activate.

Sort News allows you to sort the order of the news items on the front end of the site.
