  5. Click Apply to save changes (for version 7.0+)

Enhancing Your RSS Feed with FeedBurner

  1. Visit feedburner.google.com and sign in
  2. Enter your blog's RSS URL
  3. Click Next

Implementing FeedBurner URL

  1. On your site, hover over the blog page title
  2. Click the settings icon
  3. Select the Feed tab
