Getting Started with FeedBurner

FeedBurner is an excellent service that manages your RSS feed for you.

What exactly is RSS?

RSS, commonly referred to as Really Simple Syndication, is a subscription mechanism that

enables you to receive new content as it becomes available, either downloaded to your PC or

media player. RSS files are used to summarize the contents of the audio programs.

At FeedBurner, you add your podcast’s RSS feed ( i.e. http://yourdomain.com/yourpodcastnamehere/index.xml ) and burn that URL into FeedBurner, which makes your podcast available for subscription using any feed reader such as Google Reader, FireFox Feed Reader, Bloglines or hundreds of others.

This feed is also used to submit to iTunes, so it’s best to use FeedBurner to make the next step. If you do, the marketing and promotion of your podcast, a whole lot easier.

Your FeedBurner feed will be something like this: http://feeds.feedburner.com/yourpodcastnamehere

FeedBurner has a great tutorial on podcasting that you should definitely checkout.
