Use FeedBurner MyBrand For Your Feeds’ URL
FeedBurner is an essential tool for bloggers. Here is how you can use MyBrand, a very useful (& FREE) service offered by FeedBurner.
MyBrand
Whenever you burn a feed using Feedburner you get the resulting URL something like this : feeds.feedburner.com/xyz . Using MyBrand service you can use your own sub-domain name for this. For example, I use the URL http://feed.arpitnext.com/arpitnext for publishing feeds of this blog. Hence, you can personalize the feed URLs.
How to use FeedBurner MyBrand
If you own a domain name for your blog, you can use this service. Follow these simple steps :
- Log-in to FeedBurner
- Move to MyBrand page
- Now, see the instructions there. You will be required to create a CNAME record redirecting to instructed URL.
- To create a CNAME record, you need log-in to your domain host (like GoDaddy etc.)
- Don’t forget to click the Save button at the bottom.
Once you completed these steps, you can use MyBrand service. All your EXISTING feeds will be redirected to this new sub-domain name. Hence, if you have already burned a feed and it has URL something like feeds2.feedburner.com/qwerty, it will be moved to subdomain.yourdomain.com/qwerty .
The old URLs will not stop working. Hence, you don’t lose any subscriber!
