Enhancing Your RSS Feed with FeedBurner

FeedBurner provides a cleaner interface for your RSS feed and simplifies the subscription process. To set up:

1. Go to https://feedburner.google.com
2. Sign in with your Google account
3. Input your blog's RSS URL
4. Create a feed title and URL
5. Copy the generated FeedBurner URL

Adding FeedBurner URL to Your Site

1. Hover over your Blog Page title
2. Click the settings icon
3. Select the "Feed" tab
4. Paste your FeedBurner URL in the "RSS feed replacement URL" field
5. Save your changes

When visitors click the RSS icon, they'll be directed to your FeedBurner page instead of a raw XML feed, creating a more user-friendly experience for subscribing to your content.

The RSS block displays an icon alongside your blog title, and clicking it opens the feed in a new window or tab, depending on the visitor's browser settings.
