Comments on: Feedburner Hack: How to Use Feedburner and Still Maintain Control of Your Feed and Subscribers http://www.rayfowler.org/2008/02/06/feedburner-hack-maintain-control-of-feed-and-subscribers/ Thoughts on God and life from a Christian perspective Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:59:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Ray Fowler http://www.rayfowler.org/2008/02/06/feedburner-hack-maintain-control-of-feed-and-subscribers/#comment-6886 Ray Fowler Fri, 23 Jan 2009 23:22:04 +0000 http://www.rayfowler.org/2008/02/06/feedburner-hack-maintain-control-of-feed-and-subscribers/#comment-6886 Hi Alice, I just went over to Feedburner and re-traced the steps in my post -- just in case they had changed anything -- but it all seems to be the same. The only step I see that may be missing is to make sure you activate the BrowserFriendly service. The Activate button is on the right hand bottom side of the BrowserFriendly page across from the Save button. Let me know if that was the missing step, and if so I will add it in to the instructions. Also, what is your website so I can try subscribing over there and see what happens. Hi Alice,

I did as you said, but at the end, subscribers still get the feedburner address to subscribe to. That is, even if they click on my own address, feedburner redirects them to the burned feed (feedburner address). I think this way, the subscribers end up on feedburner's side again. Any ideas? I noticed that on your feed I get your own feed address, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something here... Hi Ray,

I was looking for an answer to this feedburner question, and found your article about it.

I think this way, the subscribers end up on feedburner’s side again.

Any ideas? I noticed that on your feed I get your own feed address, so I’m wondering if I’m missing something here…

I think it achieves the goal of subscribers consistently signing up for the feed at one address, and the address is under your control. God bless! Daryl Ray,

I am going to implement this on my blog. I have been searching for a way to do this, and I think this is a great way. Most people click on the subscribe link, not copy and paste the url anyway!
