From this page, you can link to the "Get Started" information for blogs, forums, podcasts, and wikis. Best practices One of the most powerful community resources is the WebSphere Portal Server newsgroup and forum. The WebSphere Portal Server product team monitors the forum located at ibm.software.websphere.portal-server. We recommend, as a best practice, that you actively participate in this newsgroup and forum on a regular basis. Quick access to newsgroups and forums can be linked to from the ISA tool through the Product Information feature, as described "IBM Support Assistant (ISA)" on page 170. Important: WebSphere Portal Server is built on top of WebSphere Application Server, so a knowledge of WebSphere Application Server troubleshooting is critical as well. So it is also highly recommended to take advantage of, and participate in, the WebSphere Application Server forums as well. IBM RSS feeds RSS is a quick, easy, and lightweight format for monitoring new content added to Web sites. An RSS feed uses XML-formatted files to deliver content that you then access with an RSS Reader. Our RSS feeds provide the title of a new piece of content, such as a TechNote, a description of the new content, and a link to the content. Feeds are updated daily. The WebSphere Portal Server RSS feed is a great way to receive the most current news and technical updates about WebSphere Portal Server. How do RSS feeds help The best way to state the value of RSS feeds is that they keep you informed and connected. The WebSphere Portal Server product teams leverage the RSS feeds on a regular basis to push important technical articles about WebSphere Portal Server to customers and the user community. RSS feeds can be customized to only push the content that is important to you and your environment. How can I access the IBM RSS feeds Typically, a RSS reader is used to obtain and manage the RSS feeds. Use the following link as a step-by-step guide to understanding how to introduce RSS into your environment: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/support/rsshelp.html To learn more about the RSS feeds available from IBM, access the IBM developerWorks site at: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rss/ 198 IBM WebSphere Portal V6 Self Help Guide
