How to migrate existing feeds to Feedburner (Apache) |
Loading ...We are thinking about migrating the RSS feeds for this blog to Feedburner. For those in the same situation, check this out at the Feedburner Forums:
If you’ve had a feed for any length of time, your readers are using your current feed’s URL in their news aggregators How can you painlessly migrate their requests from your old server/feed to your newly burned FeedBurner feed, so all of your syndication traffic takes advantage of our services?
Definitely useful info for those using Apache servers and their own hosting.
OK TDavid, what’s your reasoning behind moving to Feedburner? I know bandwidth COULD be an issue, but it’s so cheap now it shouldn’t. I would think you’d want to keep you own feed, especially now that Pivot lets you customize the actual contents of the feed. Many options for insertion of “custom” bits into your feed…

Haven’t completely made up my mind on this one, just in the thinking about it stage. Has nothing to do with bandwidth though, as we have a bunch of that at our disposal. Probably won’t do it with these RSS feeds, but will try the experiment I have in mind out with some of our other feeds. More or less just something I would like to play around with.
