FeedBurner
Posted by Gordon Smith

If you are a regular here, you may have noticed a new chicklet in our sidebar. FeedBurner enables us to route all of our subscribers through a single feed. For the first time, we will learn how many people are reading Conglomerate via aggregators and which aggregators they are using. The number currently displayed in the chicklet reflects only Atom subscribers. The RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0 subscribers should appear with the next update.

Before taking the plunge, I read a number of positive reviews of FeedBurner, but I would be interested in knowing whether I missed something. We are not part of the FeedBurner Ad Network, so you should be receiving our content without advertisements. It seems like a great service.

I'm one of their very first users and it works very well. Never quite sure how much to trust the stats, though.

Thanks, Michael.

I've been using FeedBurner for some time, and I'm pretty happy, too. I don't use it exclusively, though. I still have more subscribers via my traditional RSS/Atom feeds and still publish them on my own, not through FeedBurner.

Question for the experienced Feedburner users: is there any reason not to make an RSS feed, rather than an Atom feed, the original feed? I was using an Atom feed, but Typepad's Atom template is outdated and using that feed caused some problems in Feedburner. Alternatively, does anyone know where I can get a Typepad template for Atom 1.0?

The Typepad help desk came through. The Atom 1.0 template is available here. I am not sure why they post the older one here, but the new one appears to work.
