I wanted to brag on this FREE tool I implemented last week. If you subscribe to my blog using RSS, you probably already noticed. The product is FeedBurner.
Scott Hanselman mentioned FeedBurner so I figured it was worth trying.
I use dasBlog which I like very much. The stats on dasBlog are good, but it is really hard to tell how many subscribers are subscribed.
I get motivation to write when I know that more than my cat and I read my blog. I would say my wife but she says StupidProgrammer.com is too techy for her... So I used my "Spawn Of Satan" cat Halie... Anyone want a cat?
Anyway, I ramble...
dasBlog has a build in configuration setting that allows an easy integration to FeedBurner. Subscribers do not even know of the change. Notice the bottom of this post, you (the reader) can Digg It, Add a Comment, Blog This, and even Add to del.icio.us.
I now provide an email subscription to my blog. For those people who would rather get email rather than use a RSS reader.
I am sure FeedBurner can do more than I am using but I am too cheap to spend the money for the non-FREE account.
And finally, on my website, I can see my subscribers...
as of today.
