As with most things, there are usually multiple ways to get a job done.

Some of the ways you can connect your Feedburner account to your blog are…

Use any of the Feedburner chicklets and widgets.
Manually add the link into your Wordpress install
Use a Wordpress plugins.

In this tutorial I want to show you what I found to be the easiest way to add my Feedburner link to my site.

This method requires you use the FD Feedburner Plugin.

The first step is to create the Feedburner link for your site.

After you have your Feedburner link, the next step is to decided on how you want to install the FD Feedburner plugin.

To do a manual install follow the steps outlined in these articles.

To install the plugin without using an FTP client follow the steps in this article.

Use the search by Term function with the keywords FD Feedburner Plugin to find the plugin.

Once you have installed and activated the plugin look in the settings sidebar for the text Feedburner Configuration under the Plugins section of the sidebar.

In the Feedburner Configuration page you will see two text boxes, this is where you add your Feedburner link.

The top text box Redirect my feeds here: is where you paste in your sites Feedburner link, the one below is used to redirect a Feedburner feed for your post comments.

Make sure you Click Save after you have filled in the desired fields.

And that’s it, your site is now linked directly to your Feedburner account.

How To Add Your Blog To Your Feedburner Account.

In this tutorial I am going to run through the process of setting up a new RSS feed in your Feedburner account.

The first step is to make sure you are logged into your feedburner account.

On the Feedburner home page you will see a text area where you have the choice of adding your blog’s URL or the link to the RSS feed from your blog.

Although you can’t see it in the image below I just added the URL of my test blog, and as you will see as we move forward in this tutorial, Feedburner has recognized that my site has two available feeds.

The two main feeds Feedburner has found for my site are, one for the content source, and another for the comments on the posts.

If your Blog has multiple feeds, you may want to enter in the specific link of the RSS feed.

You can get the specific link of your RSS feed by right clicking on the RSS icon on your blog and saving the link, usually the option for saving a link is Save Link As.

In this set up, I want to add the blog’s content feed, but the steps outlined here will work with setting up both feeds.

After you have decided on the specific feed you want to add to your Feedburner account, click on the Next button to continue.

In the next step, Feedburner will pull in the details of your site, This will help to recognize which feed is from which site, this becomes especially useful if you have multiple sites.

The name of your feed is usually taken from your blog title. Click on the Next button to continue.

As yo can see from the image below Feedburner has now produced a brand new link for our RSS feed. This is the link we need when adding Feedburner to our Blog.

Click the Next button to Continue.

Next we are asked if we would like to add additional features to our Feedburner feed setting.

Feedburner by default provides great features, but you can also add more in the way of stats and analytics if you want.

Click on the I want more! check box.

Click Next to continue.

And finally in the next screen is where you see that you have successfully added your feed into your Feedburner account.

It’s also on this page that you can download any widgets and plugins that will help you in adding the Feedburner link into your website.

But as far as adding your blog to your Feedburner account goes, thats all there is to it.
