   So I am trying to use FeedBurner to monitor the number of people reading my feed, but I need to point users to the new feed with .htaccess.

   By using a temporary redirect, I can automatically transition over my current readers and still have everyone's feeds work if I ever stop using FeedBurner.

   I found several pages online offering help on this but have successfully confused myself, given my limited level of .htaccess knowledge. Here is one of them: http://forums.feedburner.com/viewtopic.php?t=17

   I see the code that they suggest adding, but do not see the code to be removed. Can someone offer a little help here? What do I need to change to my original .htaccess code

   Try the plugin - http://orderedlist.com/articles/wordpress-feedburner-plugin/

   Thanks for the plug-in link, I tried the plug-in and it threw a few errors - could be a problem betweeen it and another plug-in.

   Beside that, the .htaccess is rather important, and I do not feel comfortable having an external plug-in (no offense) manage it.

   I remember using .htaccess when I used feedburner. It isn't anywhere as complicated as what you have shown above.

   I simply did:
   Redirect Permanent old_uri new_url

   I have not touched my .htaccess before. What I copied in above was simply there when I opened it to look at it. Would this be something that was setup when my hosting company (Dreamhost) setup WP initially?
