So yesterday we showed students and new users how to setup WordPress to redirect its feed to Google’s FeedBurner with Nginx support. This post tells the same story but uses Apache2 to perform the redirect instead of Nginx.
My post from yesterday all started after some students asked about redirecting WordPress feeds to FeedBurner.
For students and new users who need a better feed format for their WordPress blog should definitely look at FeedBurner from Google. FeedBurner is a Google’s feed management service for RSS feeds. There have been rumors over the years that it’s pretty much dead in the eye’s of Google.
I will not dispute that, since there hasn’t been any update to the service from Google in a long time.
The case folks are making is to switch to other feed management services like Aweber and Mail Chimp. I have tried these services, and I’m going to stay with FeedBurner as for long as I can. The problem I have with these services is they’re not cheap and their free service, if there are any, are very restrictive.
