How To: Setup FeedBurner’s MyBrand Service
Posted on July 11, 2007, under Blogging, How To, Networking, Tools and Services, WordPress.
With Google’s recent purchase of FeedBurner all pay services from FeedBurner are now free. One of those services is FeedBurner MyBrand, a great service that allows you to complete mask FeedBurner by redirecting a domain or subdomain to your feeds on FeedBurner.
One thing I noticed off the bat with this service, is MyBrand works for all feeds under your account. So if you have multiple feeds and multiple domains setup under MyBrand all possible feeds and domain combinations will be available. So www.domain1.com/feed will be the same as www.domain2.com/feed. This is kind of an annoyance if you are doing this for multiple blogs and want to keep one FeedBurner account.
So how do we get started?
1) Well first login to your FeedBurner account and select “MyBrand” under “My Account”.
2) Add the domains or subdomains you wish to use for this service.
3) You now need to add a CNAME entry for the domains or subdomains you told FeedBurner will not be coming its way.If you are not sure how to do this with your hosting provider, you might need to submit a support ticket. Go Daddy has some instructions on how to do it with them.
Finished! DNS changes usually take about 24 hours to fully propagate. After that you will be serving up your FeedBurner feeds under your own domain name.
