I’m documenting this for your, as well as my, own good
Here’s directions to find the bunny at the bottom of this hole …
RSS/Atom feeds are a little challenging in WordPress if you want any control over them so today I decided to roll everything over to Feedburner. Getting Feedburner setup is really easy. However, the larger challenge was getting my sit to use the service so I went searching for the right plugins … which, I found but only in pieces.
Big Picture – all feeds go to Feedburner
Plugin: Feedburner Feedsmith – embraced by the Feedburner people – http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/help/wordpress_quickstart
But, wait there’s more because this solution, at least for me, only redirected direct links to my RSS/Atom feeds but did nothing for Firefox (click on the URL RSS button)
Solution:
Plugin: Feed Locations – this one allows site administrators to take more control of the look and feel of their links – frankly, I didn’t care about that but its use finally got Firefox to head to Feedburner – http://blog.slaven.net.au/wordpress-plugins/wordpress-feed-locations-plugin/
So, finally, I wanted to put a ‘Subscriptions’ section on the blog home page …
Plugin: Subscribe Me – Now in version 4.01, this one is really good – http://www.semiologic.com/software/widgets/subscribe-me/
Happy Reading
