Integrating Your Feedburner Feed

This tutorial will show you how to use your Feedburner feed with your Blogger (out of) beta blog.

1) Feed Auto-Detection
First, go to Template -> Edit HTML and towards the top you'll notice a line that says

<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

which actually spits out something like

  <meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type'/>
  <meta content='true' name='MSSmartTagsPreventParsing'/>
  <meta content='blogger' name='generator'/>
  <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Minima Theme Switch Demo - Atom" href="http://minima-switch.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Minima Theme Switch Demo - RSS" href="http://minima-switch.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss" />
<link rel="service.post" type="application/atom+xml" title="Minima Theme Switch Demo - Atom" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8301582465326140745/posts/default" />
<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://www2.blogger.com/rsd.g?blogID=8301582465326140745" />

when viewing the page source (in Firefox right click & choose 'View Page Source')

For your blog, you'll wanna copy & paste those lines from your blog's page source (the actual code it spits out will be different for everyone so DON'T JUST COPY & PASTE THIS!), then go ahead and edit the href's on the 2 lines that say rel="alternate" (as shown in bold) with your Feedburner feed

  <meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type'/>
  <meta content='true' name='MSSmartTagsPreventParsing'/>
  <meta content='blogger' name='generator'/>
  <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Minima Theme Switch Demo - Atom" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourFeedburnerFeed" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Minima Theme Switch Demo - RSS" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourFeedburnerFeed" />
<link rel="service.post" type="application/atom+xml" title="Minima Theme Switch Demo - Atom" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8301582465326140745/posts/default" />
<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://www2.blogger.com/rsd.g?blogID=8301582465326140745" />

Now take what you've constructed at this point and replace the all-head-content part (as shown in the 1st codebox) with this.

2) Replacing Clickable Atom Feeds
Go to Template -> Edit HTML, check the box to Expand Widget Templates and find the following

<b:includable id='feedLinksBody' var='links'>
  <div class='feed-links'>
  <data:feedLinksMsg/>
  <b:loop values='data:links' var='f'>
     <a class='feed-link' expr:href='data:f.url' expr:type='data:f.mimeType' target='_blank'><data:f.name/> (<data:f.feedType/>)</a>
  </b:loop>
  </div>
</b:includable>

This is the code for the part that shows either

Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)

or

Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)

depending on the page-type (label, permalink, homepage, etc.)

Replace that with

<b:includable id='feedLinksBody' var='links'>
  <div class='feed-links'>
  <data:feedLinksMsg/>
  <b:loop values='data:links' var='f'>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
     <a class='feed-link' expr:href='data:f.url + "?alt=rss"' type='application/rss+xml'><data:f.name/> (RSS)</a>
    <b:else/>
     <a class='feed-link' href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourFeedburnerFeed' type='application/rss+xml'><data:f.name/> (RSS)</a>
    </b:if>
  </b:loop>
  </div>
</b:includable>

This will make that link point to your Feedburner feed for all pages except for the permalink pages which points to the per-post-comment feed for that post. Just replace the part in bold with your specific Feedburner feed.
