Hey Shawn, Again, thanks for the quick response! This is the link to my "feed" url from feedburner: http://feeds.feedburner.com/airline_news_space_news_blog They call it a smart feed that can be read by just about any reader. I've got one for all of my sites - they seem to be pretty reliable. I appreciate you considering this request. Craig
Is FeedBurner not just a "feed translator" of sorts. You give it the source feed, and it converts it into a valid format for whatever reader you (as the reader) have? As well as you Shawn, being the "owner" of the feed, could see how many subscribers to the feed you actually have. You'd have a lot of statistics available.
Why not just display the data from the origin blog? The way I see it is that feedburner is just another distribution agent that you use to get users to your site.
Hey Shawn, I'm not trying to be a trouble maker, but my original request was to enable feedburner feeds which can be used with any RSS feed: blog, news, or other. The content of the syndicated feed is a different issue, no? If the rules only allow blogs, so be it. But I'm not so sure that there is a bright line between what some folks blog and what others consider news. The way the mass media cites blogs (like CNN does daily) you'd think they were quoting an encylopedia. As an experienced journalist, I know opinion, fluff and news when I see it. You can get any and all of that from blogs. This is a bit OT from the request though - which just related to bringing the feedburner feed into the mix of allowed sources. If it is a bridge too far we won't go there. No worries either way.
