Thought I’d clarify one thing - why my comments at SES conflicted (slightly) with our published instructions. Since some blog platforms (like Google) don’t have a mechanism for doing any redirection at the server level, we don’t make that an absolute recommendation in our setup instructions.

That said, when we encounter an environment that provides that level of control, we absolutely encourage them to publish *their* URL as opposed to ours. (WordPress, TypePad, Drupal are a few that come to mind.)

Hope that helps - and please let us know if there’s other stuff we can do to improve FeedBurner. Keep in touch!
