   I'm looking at syndicating my site in three different ways:

   1) Email subscription
   2) RSS Feed
   3) Podcast

   Who out there uses these? What do you find works best?

   1) Email subscription - What plugin do you use? How do you have it configured? Do you let people sign up for subscription without being a "registered" user?

   2) RSS Feed - Do you use the feed created by WP or do you use feedburner? Which is better? What are the advantages of using feedburner?

   3) Podcast - Again, do you use the enclosure support in WP, or a separate plugin? Which is better? Is it better to include text in the podcast feed or to keep the text in a separate feed? Or does it matter?

   I have an old feed from before I installed WP and I'm trying to decide if I should keep it, move to feedburner, or use the WP generated one. I'm also looking at switching servers in about 9 months and I want to make a decision that will be easiest to handle when I move servers so I don't lose readers.

   Any advice is appreciated. I would really like to go about this the right way rather than have to change things later and risk losing readers.

   Thanks!

   Short answers:

   1) I use feedblitz.com. I have exactly 4 people subscribed that way. :-) Feedburner has some integration or options these days.

   2) I use feedburner, mainly to offload the traffic from my own hosting.

   3) No clue. Podcasting just didn't "stick" with me. I heard PodPress mentioned a lot.
