Blogitive recommend feedburner to publicise your blog, I duly signed up, but am not sure if I need to do anything in response. My blog is on blooger, so I assume that is it RSS enabled? do I need to do anything now I have signed up for feedburner? Who reads the feedburner feeds??

This may be a late reply as this was posted 1 year ago. Nevertheless, I still want to share my experience with feedburner. I have just learned my way around feedburner and I like the headline animator especially. It was the first one I added in my blog and then most recently I also learned how to get the subscription box to put in my blog and the counter. Feedburner is awesome. I don't have to be an internet savvy to learn how to use it. It's a very user-friendly site that lets me transform my articles into RSS.

Thanks Jemima, I am more into RSS now and have started to use FEEDFLASH widget to promote the feed from one blog on another blog or site. I'm not sure I know what headline animator is though? I use the feedburner subscription widget, but I don't display the counter publicly, I place it on another page so I can view it for myself and watch the subs rise and fall...

I see what you mean, that's useful if you haven't much room to spare, plus of course having something animated helps to bring your site to life a bit... The feedflash widget lists the last so many posts so you can see them all at once.

You can view a sample of the headline animator in my blog and it's the one that says: Recent Posts in this Blog http://devotialreflections.blogspot.com/ I might check out your FeedFlash very soon.

Hi livewyre, though you have done it, still I will love to answer your nice discussion. Most programs which generate feeds are settled on RSS 2.0, RSS 0.9x and RSS 1.x standard. No doubt! You generate feed directly from your blog service like blogger. Blogger generates feeds with similar standard called Atom. Once generating a feed in some format, it is to be accessible to as many people out there as possible, now and in the near future. For that the service like Feedburner is the answer. It is a service which takes your feed and re-publishes it with a lot of useful enhancements. It provides your feed in a variety of RSS and Atom formats, so that anyone with just any feed reader can subscribe to it, even if it's only available in Atom format such as with Blogger. In other words, it takes in a live feed created for one standard and put out the same content in multiple feeds for multiple standards depending upon the needs of the readers who subscribe to your feed through Feedburner. That's why Blogitive recommended Feedburner. Thanks.

nice answer - thanks...I note that I have not marked a best response to this discussion, hence I am awarding it to you for your comprehensive reply. I am a bit more RSS savvy now, but hadn't grasped the point that feedburner can transform the ATOM format.
