Tips for Bloggers

Feedburner is Google's company to publicize and monetize your blog feeds. The advantage of channeling your feeds through Feedburner is you get to modify your blog feed and count your feed subscribers. So as soon as you create a blog be sure to burn the blog feed.


After burning your feed at Feedburner click on the feed after logging in at Feedburner and then click on the Optimize tab at the top. To add Feedflare click on the Feedflare link in the sidebar.



Feedflare gives your subscribers easy ways to email, tag, share, and act on the posts you publish. FeedFlare places a simple footer at the bottom of each post, helping you to distribute, inform and create a community around your content. Check the boxes of the items you want to include and choose Blogger in the "Get the HTML code to put FeedFlare on your site" box.



In the popup box copy the code from the box in Step1. It will look like this :

<script expr:src='"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/NAME OF FEED?i=" + data:post.url' type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

Instead of 'NAME OF FEED' put in your actual feed name. Then login at Blogger.com and click on Layout link on Dashboard. Then click Edit Html subtab of Template tab. Put a check in Expand widgets template box at the top of the Template code box. Scroll down to this code :

<div class='post-footer'>

Paste your feedburner Feedflare code immediately below the above line. Save Template.

Enjoy.
