Hi Dr Mike – we need to do nothing except go to our Feedburner account and click on transfer now. It does all the rest for us (except hold our breath just in case).

Hmm, first I’ve heard of this. Do we need to change the URLs of the feeds if we run them through Feedburner? Will James modify the Feedburner system here if needbe?

Subscribing is really important Glenda because this is how most readers view your posts.

I also recommend checking your posts regularly in both FireFox and Internet Explorer because they can display in different web browsers. Also if you embed code like YouTube wrongly your post can look fine in FireFox but not work in Internet Explorer. Readers with some themes can also have trouble commenting in some web browsers.

When you log into your Feedburner account Marie it has a link at the top of your feeds that explains that you need to transfer them to Google and asks if you want to move them. All you need to do is click on the link and follow the Google Prompts.

@ Gary Hopefully Google taking it over will make it more stable but I’m not totally convinced. I’ve also had times when my numbers have dropped to 0 % and increased but not to that extent.

Shame sign over hasn’t been painless for everyone but it is probably not made easy with the wide range of platforms.

Thank you for writing this post. Informative and helpful, especially the part about subscribing via Google reader and Bloglines, in addition to subscribing in an email.

Excuse my ignorance Sue – is there somewhere to go to signover or will it happen automatically?

Feedburner numbers have been on the nose way before Google purchased them.

I have had the numbers regularly drop to zero or 10-20% of the normal baseline. Or the opposite skyrocket to 2000% (yes that’s right) of the norm. So maybe Google taking them solidly into the fold will bring some stability overall.

We just have to wait and be patient. I will say the sign over was painless for me.
