Blogger Adds One-Click Feedburner Integration

By Amit Chowdhry ● Jul 12, 2007

Shortly after Google acquired Feedburner, its premium services have become free and now there is a one-click integration of Feedburner and Blogger. Blogger is Google’s free blog account service. When a Blogger user publishes content, it gets added to blogspot.com.

The first thing that you have to do is create a Feedburner account (if you do not already have one) and retrieve a Feedburner RSS address. Once that is done, you plug it into your blogspot Settings. This process has become much simpler than before.

Blogger users previously had to set up autodiscovery tags within Blogger template codes or pretty much use some hacking skills. The integration of Feedburner into Blogger is an excellent example of how Google acts quickly with their acquisitions.

Note: Also after Google acquired Feedburner, premium services became free. Feedburner’s premium services used to cost roughly $5 per month.
