I decided to try out FeedBurner on my site using the FeedSmith plugin.  I happened to subscribe to someone else’s blog through FeedBurner and I kind of like the result as a reader.  It’s an amazingly rich solution for publishing feeds of a site, connecting many different applications together for publishing.  I hope it proves to be a useful solution for folks that visit this site.

One thing I noticed about the FeedSmith plugin - it says it only supports WordPress versions up to 2.5 and that it doesn’t support tag feeds.  A while ago (May of 2007) the original author handed over development of the plugin to the FeedBurner folks (owned by Google).  I’m a little dismayed that they aren’t keeping up with the latest releases and features of WordPress, although I’m not too surprised.  Oh well; the plugin still works with WP 2.6.
