Ignore This Post

Grrr... Apologies for the confusing post, folks. Apparently, Google's advice isn't always the best. While Blogger redirects its own feed to the new feed, it also replaces the feed URL discovered by browsers. In essence, it means that while some subscribers might be using the original URL, others will still be grabbing the Feedburner URL, creating a mixed subscriber base.

Summary: Stick with the Feedburner URL by subscribing to http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheDiceOfLife. I promise I'll never switch.

If you previously subscribed to either...

http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheDiceOfLife, or
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/TheDiceOfLife

...please resubscribe to the original Blogger feed URL at:
http://thediceoflife.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

See the full post for more information.

As you've probably guessed by now, we use Feedburner to track subscriptions. There are evidently two ways to redirect Blogger feeds with Feedburner.

  • Change the Blogger feed to the Feedburner address via Blogger settings.
  • Change the Feedburner settings to use the Blogger's original feed URL.

If you're interested in the technical details, see Google's explanation.
