I Signed Up For FeedBurner...Now What?

    So I got an account and I noticed that on the comments page it now shows this: Trackback URI | Subscribe to the comments through RSS Feed


    What does each of those do? And how do I put an RSS icon on the main page that will subscribe people to the blog?

    To put a feed icon on your blog you need to burn a feed to begin with. Once you've done that click on the feed name on your FB dashboard, then click the 'Publicize' tab and generate a Chicklet. I don't know where they get their names from!

    I found FeedBurner a little confusing after signing up. If you use Wordpress I suggest you get this plugin first

    www. feedburner.com/fb/a/help/wordpress_quickstart

    Then generate a chicklet as said above, and place that on your site. Then put RSS links on your website (they dont have to be the feedburner one of you get that plugin). The aim is to put as many on your site without being intrusive, for example on my homepage I have 7, but all small and not intrusive. (You can check out my blog by typing in my username).

    Good luck,
    Matt.
