The Audacity to Podcast show

Summary: Bloggers and podcasters are panicing that Google could be shutting down FeedBurner. I don't believe that will happen, but these steps will explain how you can move anyway. You may want to change your feed so it uses your domain, but still filters through FeedBurner. Or you may want to completely abandon FeedBurner. The following information will help you in either case. These podcast shownotes are long and in-depth, so buckle up! Quick overview of my recommended process Change your public feed URL wherever it is. Plan ahead and notify your subscribers for at least a month. Use PowerPress's iTunes and Feed settings and turn off FeedBurner's SmartCast feature. Export your FeedBurner feed's email subscribers and import them into a service like MailChimp. Activate the "new-feed-url" tag in PowerPress. Wait a couple weeks and delete your FeedBurner feed and use their 30-day redirection. Wait 15 days and re-open the same FeedBurner feed and delete it again for two more weeks of redirection. Then re-open it again. Leave the original FeedBurner feed operational and using your new feed as its source. Send podcasting tips for episode 100!
