RSS feed updates

I’ve been tracking my feed activity through Mint, via a “pepper” 1 What they call “plugins” for Mint that can track FeedBurner stats… so I did some .htaccess jiggery-pokery 2 A term I blatantly filched from Mark Gruber of DaringFireball.net to make the URL redirect to the FeedBurner site without you guys having to do anything. So while you clicked/subscirbed to /blog/rss.xml in my domain, you were most probably redirected without noticing it to http://feeds.feedburner.com/nargalzius/nblog

Which brings me to this post; I’ve found a way to track my feed’s activity locally – hence FeedBurner isn’t needed anymore.

While I did delete the FeedBurner account and had it redirect back to my original feed, in case some subscribers still have http://feeds.feedburner.com/nargalzius/nblog as the registered feed address in their respective RSS readers, now would be the perfect time for me to urge everyone to change the feed URL back to http://www.nargalzius.com/blog/rss.xml


And in case any new reader is wondering what RSS is – I’ve discussed [in great length] it here.
