Up until recently I had been using a poor man’s FeedBurner. I wanted to use FeedBurner, but requiring a change to my feed URL wasn’t attractive.

Enter WordPress FeedBurner Plugin.

This is a slick plugin that uses apache’s mod_rewrite to allow you to use FeedBurner without handing out a new feed URL. The plugin is super friendly as it walks you through the steps for both FeedBurner and changing your server. The end result is that I now have some stats on the number of subscribers and http://roobasoft.com/blog/feed is a lot more pleasing on the eyes (if viewed from a browser).

If you use mint and FeedBurner, you can watch subscribers via the Mint FeedBurner stats pepper.

Although this is a WordPress plugin, it’s just simplifying a process that could be done to any feed. Google told me that if you’re not using WordPress, you might want to follow this: Stopdesign | Feedburning Not as friendly as having a plugin do the dirty work for you, but it should work.
