Stay in control of your feeds with Feedburner Mybrand

General

I’ve never really used Feedburner, played with it a for a while about a year ago but never actually switched. The main reason was that I wanted to stay in control of my feeds and not give them away to some third party.

Up until now I have been tracking feedreaders with self built add-ons for Stuffed Tracker. It works but it gets noway near the slick stats Feedburner provides you with. So for DutchSEO I decided to give Feedburner another go.

Looking around a little in the admin area I saw “Mybrand“. And that’s exactly what I always wanted, to be able to publish my feeds on my domain, and have users subscribe to my feeds on my domain. All you need to do is add a CNAME record pointing at Feedburner and you’re done.

feeds CNAME feeds.feedburner.com

That’s all, that’s brilliant, that’s something they should have done ages ago…

And if I ever decide to drop Feedburner I can just change the Vhost and redirect the subdomain to anywhere I want.
