Feedburner is the acknowledged leader in RSS feeds and you need to register your blog feed there as soon as possible. As long as you have a self-hosted Wordpress site, you can also make use of the FeedBurner FeedSmith plugin for Wordpress. This clever plugin tracks down all the various addresses that are available for your feeds and redirects them to your Feedburner feed. The different feeds are the ones set up in your Wordpress software and they could look like this: http://www.yoursite.com/feed/ http://www.yoursite.com/wp-rss2. The feedburner address directs all your readers to Feedburner, which helps you site improve its ranking.
