I'm moving, make sure you don't lose touch

Moving house is said to be among the most stressful things that you can do. Based on recent research, I think the nearest equivalent in blogging is probably moving XML feeds.

To cut a long story short I want to move all my blog subscribers on various feeds to single Feedburner feed. There are things I will do in the background that might make this painless and transparent to you, but to be absolutely sure you're subscribed to the definitive never-to-be-deleted feed of Becky's T-Blog, make sure you're using the link below:


And to make it even easier, here are some buttons to help you subscribe via some of the popular readers:

Please make the switch, I'm paranoid about losing you! :-/

Lauren Teo  Darn, I hate feedburner because it means I don't get the correct favicon next to any feeds from it. 
Becky  Hmm, thanks for that Lauren. I did a bit of research and it seems that it's an issue with feed readers rather than feedburner itself, see here.

It says on that page:many, but not all, feed readers and web-based aggregators look to the feed’s original host site, not feedburner.com, for the favicon to display. If you see FeedBurner’s own favicon displaying when your site’s feed appears in a news reader, please let us know about that news reader.

So it might be worth dropping them a line about your feed reader. 
Jessica Shannon  easiest way to redirect "http://www.beckysweb.co.uk/beckysblog/atom.xml" to feedburner on your webspace is create a folder called atom.xml and put a default.asp in it with a response.redirect. Also you should use "response.status = 301" 
Jessica Shannon  ps. you'll want to change the location blogger publishs too and update feedburner first :) 
Becky  Thanks Jess, ingenious!

That worked a treat. :-)
