FeedBurner Adopts Two-Year-Old, Renames it ‘FeedSmith’
It’s official. We’ve signed adoption papers for the popular WordPress plugin that seamlessly redirects requests for an ordinary feed (from self-hosted WordPress blogs) to your super-powered FeedBurner feed. This plugin — a toddler in age, but a prodigy with HTTP requests — will be made available directly from FeedBurner as “FeedSmith.” It was originally raised by the multi-talented Steve Smith, who’s trusting us to ensure its continued well-being.

If you aren’t already familiar with this handy plugin, you should know it’s a reliable way to track your entire feed-reading audience and can even result in that elusive “bump in subscribers” effect when you first activate it. What the plugin accomplishes, in Steve’s own words:

I have changed the Feed address.

New Address for RSS Junkies. http://feeds.feedburner.com/wayneporter and will have more Junkies using and reading feeds when we stop calling it RSS.

sigh- now to get the plugin working.
