Blogger.com now can redirect RSS feeds to Feedburner

I just saw note of this on a couple other blogs yesterday, and even on the blogger.com home page:

"FeedBurner users - we just added a feature for you. Matt's post on the FeedBurner blog explains it more fully, but in short, you can now specify a URL to which Blogger will redirect your feed's traffic. This means you'll no longer have some subscribers getting your Blogger-hosted feed while others get your FeedBurner feed, and your subscriber count should (as a result) be more accurate.To enable this functionality, visit your blog's Settings Site Feed page, and enter your feed's address in the "Post Feed Redirect URL"
field."

So, basically, I had ~131 subscribers that were linked to my Atom RSS feed (the default blogger feed), and had around 76 that were using Feedburner. Once I updated my Blogger redirect to Feedburner yesterday and logged in today, CFJ jumped to 207 readers!

WOW - thanks everyone!

If any of you have a Blogger account, you should do the same right away...!

Also, on a side note, I just created a new header yesterday, tweaked the layout, and cleaned up the CSS (added a couple adsense blocks, diapers aren't cheap!) - I hope you enjoy the slightly modified look and feel.
