Burning your RSS feed

Bookmark and Share

I've been busy the last couple of weeks but today I finally got around to something that I've been putting off for a while; setting my blog's RSS feed up using FeedBurner.

FeedBurner is a great service which takes your regular RSS feed and adds cool features to it, like:

  • PingShot - maintains an updated list of content aggregators and notifies them whenever you post a new blog.
  • SmartFeed - intelligently converts your feed to whatever format requested by the client. You don't need to worry about RSS vs. Atom or offering multiple feeds. Let FeedBurner do the work for you.
  • Analytics - which allow you to see exactly how many people subscribe to your feed and how often they click through to read your articles.
  • BrowserFriendly - enables your feed to be viewed inside a browser with buttons to allow users to subscribe via web-clients like MyYahoo!, Pluck, and PageFlakes.

Check out, and better yet, subscribe to the newly burned feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/CodeScene

I've setup redirects for the old feed URLs so everyone should be seeing the new feed.

You also might notice that I switched out the old RSS button at the top with the new stylish feed button which is fast becoming the industry standard. Check out FeedIcons.com to download a set of icons in multiple formats for your site.
