Use a rewrite rule to redirect everyone Todd.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} FeedBurner
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-] )?/?$ /blog/wp-feed.php?feed=$1 [QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-] )?/?$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/oilman [R,L]
Oops, take out the /blog/, thats from my blog’s.
Thanks Dill. I gave it a shot and got a 500 error. I’ll try again and see if I missed something. htaccess and regex are really not my strong suit 😉 I’m just an SEO after all.
Cool!
I already have this in my htacess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
do I just paste the new code below that?
Are you going to talk about feedburner widgets in your site review panel at Pubcon?
Below the RewriteBase, before the first RewriteCond.
Here’s the fixed code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} FeedBurner
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-] )?/?$ /wp-feed.php?feed=$1 [QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-] )?/?$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/oilman [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Hey Todd you could also just use the feedburner wordpress plugin. You can find the download link on the quick start page http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/help/wordpress_quickstart
Hi Dillsmack,
I believe that when a custom set of rules are placed in with the wordpress rules that wordpress will write over them changing everything in between the two #Wordpress comments back to the default.
It’s the save_mod_rewrite_rules() function that does this. So to prevent it from rewriting you would need to comment out that function. I think it’s in wp-includes/rewrite.php. Or you could place the custom rules outside of the wordpress block.
yes, it is about bloody time…
thanks though 🙂
well, I’m gonna try this.
Hi, can you tell me why is better FeedBurner than the default rss feed? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the update. I need to update my feed also. More fancy charts and graphs to look at!
Thanks! I will update my feed too.

The htcass?
What does Feedburner do?
i would suggest using the feedburner feedsmith plugin
Have you tried wordpress? what do you think? Some blogs are already powered by wordpress 2.5. I’m thinking of doing that also.
Nice.
I have to try this one. Thank you
Go for wordpress 2.5!;)
Phew! I was a lot confused when I was trying to post the feed to my home page from my blog. But, thankfully the guys from the Digital Point forums helped me out.
This info is very useful to newbies to blogosphere, like me.
Copied the content for further reading and working on it.
Thanks.
if your getting a 500 error, check you server error logs, a lot of times its a permission issue.
Or go to wordpress 2.7 which is great 🙂
oh thanks its amazing sharing
Yes feedburner is the way to go. Even though the statistics are a bit swingy I think.
I’d have to give my vote for WordPress too! That’s what I use…No complaints!
What advantage feedburner can give?
I use my own rss – it simple, but effective.
Sorry for my english, I’m from Russia =)
Cool!

Id this good for the latest update 2.7)?
I found Feedburner rather useless. Showing how many people had subscribed isn’t a revolutionary thing.
Nice.
I will try this
thanks
Awesome stuff. Feed burner has been my choice for some time now. Haven’t tried it on 2.7 though. Also took a walk on your blog and found some really informative posts. Keep it up. I will come back for more. 🙂 Cheers
How cool is it that Matt Cutts commented on your blog! Awesome.
Awesome. always been a fan of oilman and feedburner. glad to know both have come together. such treat. I’ve been out of the country for few months and couldn’t check these stuff out. Great news anyway. Cheers
I would have to check out feedburner, too. ALthough it wouldn’t matter to some, but I think it’s also a good way of knowing if someone got interested with your blog.
Definitely good news!
I was looking for a way to get my old subscripers onto my feedburner feed. the .htaccess ideas in the comments might be just the thing i need, thanks.
Did you take te doohicky down? I don’t see it.
I’m using Feedburner, too. I don’t really know much about RSS, I’m just learning. I’m old. 🙂
Thanks for the update. I really needed to update my feed burner. I am sure glad you posted it. You are so very appreciated for it too. If I could I would give you a big hug and a pat on the back.
I use Feedburner too. Works great for me. Really helps a lot. I use it on an older WordPress version. I’m hoping to upgrade soon. I think it will do just as good with the newer version too.
Nice blog.
Feedburner is great. I used it for a very very long time and i didn’t have any problems with it yet. There are so many advantages too.
I’ve been using feedburner since late and it has really been great. No hiccup at all. Smooth as silk. Glad to know you guys are using feedburner as well. Are there any other mainstream sites that use feedburner? Cheers
I am using feedburner also.. I know that the google is the owner of feedburner.
I’m hoping to upgrade soon. I think it will do just as good with the newer version too.
Using feed burner always pays. I had a lot of help using feed burner.There are a lot of advantages for feed burner.
How cool!!!
I love it.
Thank you!!
