Discover Readers You Never Knew You Had with FeedBurner FeedSmith Plugin

By Vlad Zablotskyy May 27, 2007

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I have been reading lately a lot about FeedBurner FeedSmith plugin, but never would have guessed how much of a difference will it make to use this plugin.

The function of the plugin is very simple, to redirect all your feed links to your FeedBurner feed. Since I have been using this big subscription button on my blog, I just presumed no one would bother to subscribe to my blog via other links. I guess I was mistake. But how much mistaken was I. Well two days ago I had only 43 subscribers, and today the feedburner widget is showing me that I have 94 readers.

It may have been that I gained over 40 subscribers over last two days, but I think it has more to do with discovering subscribers I never knew I had. Anyway, great plugin. Give it a try!

Now go to Bloglines, and create an account if you don't have one.

Then claim both feeds and merge them into one

@Andy,

I just claimed them both, but have no idea how to merge them?
