I’ve written a few times about my thoughts to do with Feedburner but my most recent comment on FriendFeed kinda sums up my feelings about the service. Over the weekend I have been contemplating moving away from the Feedburner service and what effect it will have.
It all boils down to this – I’m not happy with the service and even though it may take some time for my readers who use the RSS feed exclusively to catch up with the shift away from Feedburner I will be switching back to the default Wordpress RSS feeds. For those of you who want to keep on getting the feed I suggest you point your favourite feed reader to this URL – http://www.winextra.com/index.php/feed/
I’m not sure what the over all effect will be on readership for the next little while but hopefully it will pick back up. Now if anyone knows of any handy Wordpress plug-ins for managing the default feeds for such things as stats etc please let me know in the comments.
Bye bye Feedburner (not that you’ll care probably).
Time to stick a fork in Feedburner – it’s done
Yay! no more Friendfeed counts cluttering up my Feedburner numbers
Keep in mind that after you delete it, your Feedburner feed will redirect to your blog feed for 30 days (if you choose that option upon deletion). So, this change shouldn't have a huge impact on your readership.

I think that you'll lose more subscribers by going to partial content feeds than switching from FeedBurner to your own WordPress feed.

I've played with the re-direct pretty extensively, and at some point during
the 30-day redirection, Google simply changes the source address for the
feed to the new address whenever it sees the 301 (not sure if it's instantly
or after a time).

I second that. Partial content is always annoying.

Nick, do you rss reader products automatically change the subscription as Google Reader does after the 30 day redirection is done?

When our RSS readers encounter the 301 redirect that FeedBurner issues, we do change the XmlUrl for the feed. But I'm not aware of how to do that once the 30 days are up, since FeedBurner issues a 404 after that time.
