Once your blog is up and running, and has a good number of posts, it’s a good idea to add an RSS feed to your blog. If your readers have enjoyed your previous blog posts, and you have an RSS feed, then there’s a good chance that they may subscribe to your blog. If your blog posts are of high quality, then you’ll have no problems gaining subscribers to your blog.

I have recently added an RSS feed widget to my blog (top-right), and I am using Feedburner for this purpose. They provide a free RSS feed service for your blog, and it’s really easy to set up an account with them. It’s a simple case of entering your feed url into the address field, and following the on-screen instructions from there.

If you’re using Blogger for your blog, it’s also easy to re-direct your default Blogger feed to your new Feedburner feed. Feedburner provide detailed statistics for your feed, including subscriber number data. By re-directing your feed, Feedburner will be the sole feed for your blog, and will provide an accurate picture of your feed details.

Feedburner also provide a great Help Center, where questions regarding the set-up of your RSS feed are addresses in an easy to understand manner. So if you’re considering adding an RSS feed to your blog, I’d have no problems with recommending Feedburner.
