If this is your first visit or you have yet set up your blog please check out the very first post "how do I get started with blogger?"

"How to add feedburner feed to your blogspot blog"

How to configure and utilise your blogger RSS feed for readers to subscribe to your blog's instant updates.

For a better RSS use and analytic's I use feedburner which you will have with your google account.
Once you have made this account just simply create your feedburner feed url by adding your blogs existing url. (blogspot.com address) to the box where it says "burn a feed" which creates a feedburner feed url to use instead.

Then you can simply configure your feed using the tabs in the feedburner dashboard.

Anytime you publish a post on your blog it will automatically update your feed and ping those who have subscribed to your feed, the post will then show up in those users RSS reader, if you subscribed to this blog already you will know what I mean when you look in your in your RSS reader, yes you do have one if you have yet to subscribe, you have google reader with your account.

I know.. they give us everything we need!

Now you have a better chance of making use of your feeds using feedburner as opposed to a normal blogspot feed.

You have analytic's of the feed and can also optimise your feed with several chicklets to use (mine is a plain orange icon as seen above).

Make use of a decent feed because people do use RSS readers as it enables them to devour more content in one page, it also is one way the readers share your content, with a simple click in the RSS reader they can share with all those in their contacts who use the reader, this is good for getting your work out to more people.

You should ask your readers to subscribe to your feed.

On that note don't forget to subscribe to this blog for updates as they come in.
