RSS – Feedburner

    I want to redirect all my RSS feeds through Feedburner so I know how many subscribers I have.

    Right now I know I have a couple people subscribed through bloglines, and a handful subscribed through feedburner. I’ve seen plugins that do some type of redirect, but if I do that I think it will ruin my current feed and the people already subscribed will have to subscribe to the new one.

    Is there anyway to make everything go through feedburner, even when they use autodiscovery? Additionally is there a way to do this without messing up my current feedburer feed?

    Thanks.

    The feedburner plugin from orderedlist.com seems to work well. It redirects requests for your current feeds to FeedBurner, so things oughtn’t break. works for me, afaik.

    As for autodiscovery, well, in theory even autodiscovered requests should be re-routed to FeedBurner, but if not, editing your header.php file should do the trick.

    This post in the FeedBurner forums explains what to looks for and replace, to ensure that autodiscovery points folks to you at FB.

    The publicize tab in your feed’s page at FB has several helpful links to assist you, too.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Say I have two feeds

    http://www.foo.com/feed/

    and

    http://www.foo.com/category/feed/

    Do you know how I can differentiate this with the feedburner plugin?

    Sorry, I don’t. Certainly you can setup a feedburner feed for foo.com/category/feed, but i’m not dab enough with htaccess to tell you what format the redirect would take. My wordpress theme doesn’t support autodiscovery for category feeds — it just announces the main feed — so this hasn’t been an issue for me.
