Switching to Feedburner, Soon
Posted in Uncategorized
I just wanted to leave a quick note for all of my readers to let you know that I will soon be switching my RSS feed to a Feedburner feed. If you’re feed reader stops giving you updates in the next day or 2, it’s not because I haven’t been writing. It’s because the feed location has changed, so you’ll need to update your subscription.
Check back soon for the new feed location.
Update 03-12-2008: The new feed location is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/river-city-writer.

You should install the FeedSmith plugin, then it doesn’t matter if people change their subscriptions!

I already have installed the plug-in. For some reason, I thought all it did was make sure that whenever a new subscriber subscribes, regardless of which location they subscribe to, they’ll be “re-directed” to the Feedburner feed. I didn’t realize it automatically “re-directed” existing subscriptions.

Yep it makes it so that any request to /feed/ goes to FeedBurner, except for requests from FeedBurner itself.

OK, great. Well then, everyone, as Mack has indicated, you don’t need to update your feeds, since the plug-in I’ve installed should ensure that your subscription will continue uninterrupted.
