If you use WordPress (like I do), you may direct your RSS feeds through Feedburner. When you run your feeds through Feedburner, you gain access to a variety of free analytical tools that can help you better understand and count your audience. In addition, Feedburner allows you to monetize your content by adding services like AdSense to your feeds. Feedburner is now owned by Google, which means that you can expect even more capacity for analytics and statistics.
For whatever reason, Feedburner has decided to change the syntax of the feed link. Until recently, a Feedburner feed looked like this:
feeds.feedburner.com/yourblogname
Now, the syntax includes the number “2” as follows:
feeds2.feedburner.com/yourblogname
When you install the Feedburner plug-in on your blog, you will see an entry screen at “Settings” to type in your Feedburner feed address. If, like me, you set up your Feedburner plug-in several months ago without the “feeds2” syntax, your RSS link will go to a dead link.
You can fix this problem easily by logging in to your WordPress blog and changing the Feedburner address to show feeds2.feedburner.com instead of feeds.feedburner.com.
