Google integrates FeedBurner with Blogspot


Blogspot and FeedBurner integration
If you've been wondering what Google would do now that it's taken over FeedBurner, the wait is at least partially over. Google has added Feedburner integration to blogs hosted at Blogspot.

But wait, you say, couldn't we always use FeedBurner to spruce up boring Blogger/Blogspot feeds? Right you are.

Now there's a nice new setting conveniently located under Settings/Site Feed that lets you redirect your site feed. That's it. Type in your FeedBurner address and you're all set. In fact, there's nothing stopping you from entering any feed redirecting service.

Of course, true integration would mean not having to redirect anything at all. Perhaps sometime down the line we'll see Google make FeedBurner the default feed service for Blogspot.

You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...
