Started Using Feedburner
I’ve always been interested in using Feedburner for my RSS subscriptions, but I always thought it would be a pain to switch all my existing subscribers to the new feed. Then, a week or so ago I saw a post by Shoemoney, saying that he had switched to Feedburner. I realized that I didn’t was still subscribed to his old feed, but was getting new updates. I did some investigation and found that Feedburner has a cool WordPress plugin that redirects the existing feed URLs to a new Feedburner link.
So I am now using Feedburner for this blog, and I think I’ll start switching some of my other blogs over too. I like the tracking that they give you, and there are a lot of features I think I’ll experiment with too. I never knew how many subscribers I had to this blog. Now, as can be seen from the widget below, I know I have a little over 200 subscribers.

Is the tracking the only benefit of switching to feedburner?

There are some other advantages as well. I use a couple of other services – They have a service where you can have people set up email subscriptions to you blog. They also have “browser friendly” subscription button that make it easier for people to subscribe using their favorite feed reader.
There are some other goodies in there too, I suggest you check them out.
