Getting more info with Feedburner

Posted on 18 February 2007

(Updated 2/19 with widget info)

I added a MyBlogLog account the other day to get more info about who’s reading my blog but the hole in that strategy is that MyBlogLog only counts people coming to my web site, not those who read entries via RSS. So I’ve now switched my RSS feed sign ups in the sidebar to Feedburner, which provides similar info about readers on the feeds. Just don’t get too close to the flame…and of course, the easiest way to integrate Feedburner feeds was with a plug-in widget. I chose Jeremy Finke’s easy-to-use (and aptly named) Feedburner widget for WordPress.
