But wait, you say, couldn't we always use FeedBurner to spruce up boring Blogger/Blogspot feeds? Right you are. But you had to jump through so many hurdles to change the auto-discovery preferences for your blog that you never really knew if subscribers were signing up through FeedBurner or Google's automatically generated feed.
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.

I'm predicting that Google will use RSS Subscribers as a way to measure the PR of a blog soon! What better way to see if a blog is real than to use this number? . . . . with that being said, if you're signed up as a RSS subscriber on my site, you would have known about the free iphone I'm giving away! http://www.mrgarylee.com/2007/07/08/im-really-giving-away-a-free-iphone/
