Some Insight!!
You can track your subscription information from your FeedBurner Panel.
Though this gadget has got a simple easy to use interface, the gadget
is really intelligent, and does lot of background work and
synchronization. It checks if you have already burnt your blogger feed,
and if you have, then it retrieves your Feed burner URL automatically.
If you have burnt the feed but hadn’t enabled the Email Subscription
option for your Feed, then it automatically enables the same.
If you haven’t even used FeedBurner before, then it automatically
burns your blogger feed, and retrieves the new FeedBurner url of the new
feed that was generated.
Oh!! I hate the url that FeedBurner gave me.
If your blog has a very common name, then there is every possibility
that you will end up with a non-pretty FeedBurner url like
http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/qOAyP
. Most of you might not give a damn about this url. But if you really
want to change it, then you can easily do that as well.Follow these
Steps
1. Login to
http://feedburner.com and Click on the Feed For your Blog
2. Click on Edit Feed Details
3. Change the Feed Address to something pretty!
4. Click on
Save Feed Details button
