\"Subscribing<\/a>Most readers receive posts from their favorite blogs by subscribing to RSS using their feed readers<\/a> (e.g. Google Reader<\/a>, Bloglines<\/a>, NetVibes<\/a>).<\/p>\n

RSS notifies your reader of new content; saving them time because it means they can read their latest news in one location, their feed reader, rather than having visiting each web site separately (if you currently don’t use RSS — watch this video<\/a>).<\/p>\n

As a blogger you want people to read what you write by subscribing to your blog. A common way bloggers make it easy for readers to subscribe is using Feedburner.<\/p>\n

What is Feedburner?\"feedburnerreader.jpg\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Feedburner<\/a> is a free web service which enhances bloggers and podcasters ability to manage their RSS feeds and track usage of their subscribers.<\/p>\n

Most blogs already have RSS feed which is detected automatically by Feed Readers like Google Reader<\/a>, Bloglines<\/a>, NetVibes<\/a> when the blog URL is added to the reader. The trouble is not all Feed Readers can automatically detect the RSS feed from the blog URL.<\/p>\n

Having a Feedburner feed means readers can click on the RSS icon and subscribe to your feed by selecting their Feed Reader.<\/p>\n

Using Feedburner means you can also analyse your subscriptions e.g. number of subscribers, Feed Readers they use.

Setting up your Feedburner Feed<\/h3>\n

You’ll need to register for a free account with <\/strong>Feedburner<\/a>, if you don’t have an existing account.<\/p>\n

In Your Feeds section of your Feedburner account add your Blog URL to the Burn a Feed Right This Instant box and follow the instructions in the diagram below.<\/p>\n

Please note:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the Identify Feed Source page gives you the following message “FeedBurner discovered more than one feed at that address. Please select one to use as your source” — select the RSS 2.0 feed i.e. looks like this https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/feed\/<\/p>\n
