Shooting at Bubbles: Enough bitching – Feedburner housecleaning time

  • nbradbury · 11 months ago
    Keep in mind that after you delete it, your Feedburner feed will redirect to your blog feed for 30 days (if you choose that option upon deletion). So, this change shouldn't have a huge impact on your readership.

    Nick, do you rss reader products automatically change the subscription as Google Reader does after the 30 day redirection is done?
  • nbradbury · 11 months ago
    When our RSS readers encounter the 301 redirect that FeedBurner issues, we do change the XmlUrl for the feed. But I'm not aware of how to do that once the 30 days are up, since FeedBurner issues a 404 after that time.

    I've played with the re-direct pretty extensively, and at some point during
    the 30-day redirection, Google simply changes the source address for the
    feed to the new address whenever it sees the 301 (not sure if it's instantly
    or after a time).

    I think that you'll lose more subscribers by going to partial content feeds than switching from FeedBurner to your own WordPress feed.

    I second that. Partial content is always annoying.
