Currently devoting my entire intellectual capacity to organizing my Real Life Environment, 2 computer hard drives (WendellCentral and the Slaptop) and the backends of this site and one you shouldn’t be looking at yet (ooohhh… teaser). This may affect the way you see this site (but I will be annoyingconsulting with you readers on most of the site issues). So most of my usually only-kinda-funny content will be replaced by even-less-funny administrivia. Apologies in advance.
First of all, RSS readers? Do you love FeedBurner? I’m ambivalent about the value of its service to me, the webster (that’s my term for a small webmaster), but if it’s good for the audience, I won’t change a thing. If you’re “meh”, “blah” or even “bah”, I may bring the feed back to an internal thing for me to more directly control. It’ll be quite a battle for supremacy between the Lazy Bum in me and the Control Freak. Any words from you in my half-vast audience would be useful.

Do you need metrics are on your RSS feed? Are you planning on possibly moving the RSS feed? If the answer is “yes” to either of these questions, then you should consider FeedBurner. If the answer is “definitely not” to both questions, then there’s really no reason to use it. From my experience (both as a producer and a subscriber), FeedBurner does nothing to enhance the end user’s experience. But I’ve seen FeedBurner problems cause some headaches for content creators. Like anything, you’ve got to weigh the potential advantages against potentially unknown technical problems.
