Burn the feed at both ends
I’ve switched my RSS feed over to Feedburner. Feedburner offers a whole slew of great tools for publishers, analysis tools like readership and click-throughs, automatic splicing in of other content, like links posted to my del.icio.us account, smart reformatting of feeds for different user agents, up to promotional kit like pinging Technorati et al every time I update. Basically it’s a feed swiss army knife, I’m very impressed (if a little behind the crowd).
I’m going to be making a few other changes to the site over the next month or so as well, and although the old feed will keep working, I’m going to be promoting the Feedburned feed only.
If you’re reading this through the feed, please update your bookmarks to http://feeds.feedburner.com/afternoon (yes, I would like to issue a permanent redirect header on the original url too, but then where would Feedburner get it’s data from?).
Thanks for reading!
