Every Thursday is Goat-Free Simplicity day at Living Behind the Curve.

Just a quickie for you guys today.  I want to share with the world exactly how much I love Feedburner. It takes the relatively simple matter of dealing with WordPress syndication feeds, and makes them better. If you have more than one website, you can cluster all your feed information in one place. You can tweak it and sprinkle cheese on top, and all your work results in a fun little bar graph that records your subscriber numbers, and all sorts of nifty stats you can check like a maniac every 8 minutes.

None of this should be news to anyone, though, and while it’s awesome that they provide a service that’s free and functional and easy to use, but that’s not why I love Feedburner today. I love Feedburner because I was able to go on their website and transfer 4 feeds from one account to another with no effort and no disruption of service that I could detect. Just a little tiny web form, and a couple of “are you sure?” emails and boom. Done. They even offered to delete my old account name because I wasn’t using it anymore.

If you need to syndicate something, go burn your feed. It is a mild pain in the neck to have to go to somebody else’s website to deal with your feed, but the inherent awesome of the service will make up for it.

And for the record, I’m not being paid for this endorsement. I just needed to move some feeds, and the process was so completely shockingly way easier than I could have possibly hoped, I wanted to share.
