FeedBurner
I've just added one of those FeedBurner things to my sidebar. I really have no idea what it is/does because I've not read the site yet, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. (If you use one of these and know of any advantages or know what it does, please share!) It looks like this:
Oh, and there's a slightly different layout up, but most of you have noticed that already.
Edit (26th June): I figured out all of the little details about the feedburner thingy last night. Seems like a good way to feed my ego (get it? feed? aha!) so it can stay up for a while. It's quite interesting seeing how many hits I'm getting to my feed: way more than I anticipated. Shame the subscriber count only updates once a day.

Was the header image always in lowercase? hmm.

@Hope: no, I've been fiddling with the font (size, shape, case etc).

it's just a different way of doing feeds isn't it?

Hmm... I should read the FeedBurner site, too. I've never really spent the time it. "You blog because [your reason here] and FeedBurner can help you do that better." Okay... I shall continue reading!

I recently went over to this. I only really use it to see how many readers I have (4 - yey!). One thing I did do was edit my .htaccess file so that people who request my old feed were "sent" to the feedburner version (oblivious to any change)...

Woohoo! /me likes the new look. (I tried that Feedburner thing for a while and I still don't know what it does.)

I think feedburner is a online RSS reader service ... thing, right? ^^ I know some podcasts use it for people to subscribe to. I like these blue shades a lot, desaturated blues are awesome. I don't know about the maroon links, though.

It let's you keep up with how many subscribers you have as well as many other subscriber related stats, e.g., how many joined this month, day, etc.

Isn't it a subscriber counter to let you see how many subscribers you have through feeds. As well as other stats you can look up.

Excuse me while I declare ignorance on the FeedBurner malarky, but I just wanted to say that I very much prefer the header in lower-case - definitely a "keeper" IMHO

I don't really see the point of the counter but it has a cool name so it works.
I really hope I'm not the only one who cracked up at the feed ego joke.

Oh dear...it looks like it's going down
I never could work out anything about feeds. Of course, not trying may have something to do with it...
