Burn me up, baby!
While I’m in the mood for change I’ve decided to move my feeds over to FeedBurner.
If you subscribe to my feeds, it would be pretty cool if you could switch over to these ones:
Posts feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/marksw
Comments feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/markswcomments
I say these are RSS feeds, but FeedBurner do something called SmartFeed, which “translates your feed on-the-fly into a format (RSS or Atom) compatible with your visitors’ feed reader application“. Not sure how good or bad this is, but I may as well give it a whizz.
Update
Turns out you can also ’splice’ your Flickr feed into your blog feed, so I’ll give that a bash too. If it all works nicely, I’ll probably move BritBlog over to this - would certainly be interesting to know how many subscribers there are to that feed…

Add the following to your .htaccess to redirect existing readers to your new feedburner feeds.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/feed/$
RewriteRule ^feed/$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/marksw [R,L]
Enjoy

Thanks for that Gary - very handy!

Used a slightly modified version in the end:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurnerRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/mark/blog/feed.*$
RewriteRule ^feed.*$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/marksw [R,L]
