Moving to FeedBurner

I’ve been testing out a new service recently called FeedBurner. The reason for my switch was because of some complaints I’ve received about the default Textpattern feeds which are less than reliable to say the least.

With FeedBurner’s SmartFeed technology, the feed is automagically converted into the requested type (ie. RSS, Atom, etc.)

Without further ado, here is the new feed. The old ones will remain active, but I highly recommend that you switch.

    Hey Tom… it might be a good idea to redirect your old feed(s) to the new one. That way, anyone who’s still subscribed to the old one will be automatically redirected to your new FeedBurner feed.

    Here’s a forum post on how to do that (http://forums.feedburner.com/viewtopic.php?t=14 ), and here’s a handy htaccess tutorial I’ve been using (http://corz.org/serv/tricks/htaccess.php ).

    Let me know if you have additional questions, and thanks for using FeedBurner!

    I had problem for feedburner to grab my textpattern generated feeds while the feeds were healthy (however manual resync usually remove the problem temporarily, it came back everytime feedburner was refreshing the feeds), the feedburner guy told me there are several textpattern users facing the same problem. Hopefully you won’t encounter it.

    my problem was gone after i moved to another webhost, i guess somehow it was a server wise problem?

    There are a lot of “tricky” solutions I found on the FeedBurner forums. If you’re still having problems, search around and I’m sure you’ll find the solution.
