We're Changing RSS Setup and Moving to FeedBurner

[Jason Dunn]

We've changed our RSS setup here at Smartphone Thoughts, and I wanted to give everyone a heads up so they can let us know if they run into any problems. Historically, our RSS feed has been located at http://forums.thoughtsmedia.com/www.smartphonethoughts.com/xml/index.php. We've now put a redirect on that file that will push your RSS reader to http://feeds.smartphonethoughts.com/smartphonethoughts and that in turn redirects to our Feedburner feed. Why Feedburner? It gives us a lot of really useful tools related to RSS content - the ability to track the number of people subscribing to the feed, track which items get clicked on, etc. If your already a subscriber to the Smartphone Thoughts RSS feed, everything should work exactly like it did before - if it's not, please post a comment and let me know what's not working.

I don't use RSS regularly, and when I do its via Bloglines, but will the other Thoughts sites eventually change over?
