    I was just about to set up feedburner for my blog, but I got nervous about changing my feed url...

    Before I decide to sign up or not, does anybody have any reasons why using feedburner is a bad idea?

    i just started using feedburner. I added like a deal of the week type Blog to my blog (if that makes sense) anyway the deal of the week you sign up for in feedburner and it will be emailed out once a week, should be cool if it actually works?

    Feedburner is great. A must have for blogger. Make sure you use feedburner plugin if you are using wordpress.

    I still don't see why feed burner is such a good idea.

    From what I have read it takes the incoming links away.

    The only advantage I really see it that it has subscribe by email,
    but wordpress has a great subscribe by email plugin that looks like a great option.

    I have read stories of people losing alot of readers via feedburner.
