Feedburner, owned and managed by Google.com, is one of the most popular methods of serving up your RSS feeds through visitor subscriptions.
In addition, Feedburner provides additional information including stats relating to your blog. You can just log into your Feedburner account and look at your stats and charts.
If you manage multiple blogs, you can create and track feeds for all of them with FeedBurner.
Feedburner also makes it extremely easy to encourage your visitors to become RSS subscribers by offering you a piece of code that once inserted into your blog, will offer a RSS subscription box, enabling your visitors to instantly subscribe to your feed. Once you have created your Feedburner account, you will want to locate the code that allows your readers to use your new Feedburner feed.
You can do this by using the Feedburner plugin available to WordPress users running self hosted blogs.
