There are probably zillions of blog circulating on the net today and most of them I bet are utilizing FeedBurner for their web analytic. Well most of you may already know but for the small few that do not, FeedBurner now offers a hosted RSS solution called MyBrand. MyBrand use to be one of FeedBurner’s paid solutions but now since Google has acquired the company it’s available to all. So instead of offering your users feeds.feedburner.com/feeds you now can give them feeds.yourdomain.com/feeds this is actually a beautiful thing in regards to Branding. The whole process will only take you 3 minutes to setup and 2 of those minutes are trying to find out where the My Brand service link is located at on the FeedBurner website. I had a hard time trying to find it my first time.

Log into your FeedBurner Account
See the MyAccount Icon a the top, click that.
In the left side navigation you’ll see the MyBrand Link, follow through, its says PRO next to the MyBrand Links but settle down, it’s free of charge.
You should now be at the MyBrand page just follow the directions provided. Don’t be scared, a one legged monkey with 3 fingers could follow these directions.
Once you configure your CNAME with your host and clicked the active button in FeedBurner your set and don’t panic if your feed settings does not instantly start working. You have to give the new CNAME setting time to kick in. Mine took like 5 hours. So basically set and forget.
