Ok i have another super quick question, (sorry)
If i have feedburner, do i need to put the feedburner address in instead of my normal feed into the 'links' section.
For example, my "orange button links" currently point to http://www.sarahketleyauthor.com/feed/
Do i need to replace these with:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/sarahketleyswritingblog ??
Sorry for the newbie question, I was hoping this would fix the problems i'm having with some people not being about to subscribe to the feeds.
Any ideas, or am i being silly.
Many thanks,
Sarah
You could put the feed in manually in your theme, but I find using a plugin works better and is easier to maintain. That way any reference to your WordPress generated feed URL will lead people to the right location.
I use this one myself, there are others.

So if that is the case, i keep all the feeds on my site as the standard WP ones (without the //feeds.feedburner part. Then the plugin changes everyone through to Feedburner itself?
Is this correct?
My theme has a spot for me to put in a specific feed address, (i assume feedburner will work) which i have now done.
what do you think?
the site is here

Yep. You got it in one.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other... it's a matter of preference. Every two years or so I switch themes and don't want to remember settings like that. That's why I use a plugin; but you may find it easier to just use the theme option.

Many thanks,
I have changed it in the theme one, for the moment over to the feedburner one. I hope it works.
