lol I’m so glad I read this! I assumed that because I’d changed the url in my header http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/feed/ and http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/wp-rss2.php no longer existed. I just checked and they do! I wonder how many more subs I have??!!

The increased focus on pushing my feed seems to have worked as my counthas gone up by 200 in the last two days – hopefully I’ll pick up a few more once I’ve fixed this

Hi Wendy, you can use the feedburner plugin for WordPress that can be used to redirect feeds.But, honestly, move to a new webhost.

I’m sure there is Wendy, and I’m sure Ajay has a method – I’ve just buzzed him for you

Just an FYI – Yahoo hosting will not allow you access to your .htaccess file.

I have found it to be a big pain, because I have two old feed addresses that I can’t track with FeedBurner. They just sit there, getting thousands of hits, and I have NO way to know who is doing what.

As far as I know, the only way to get these feed subscribers into FeedBurner is with a redirect in my .htaccess file. If there is another way, I’m all ears.

I think plugin use should be avoided as much as possible. Plus, those plugins only deal with scenario 3 above
