FeedBurner

The idea of having a different URL for my feeds doesn’t please me much, that’s why I didn’t use FeedBurner until today. I’ve been using Google Analytics and when I am curious about how many readers I have, I used FeedStats for wordpress and the simple procedure, go to reader.google.com, search your blog and you’ll see how many users subscribed by google reader. Of course FeedBurner is much powerful then both, and when I saw this plugin FeedSmith in Christiano’s blog, that allows you to keep your current address and it just redirects you, I switched right away, let’s see how it goes.
