Feedburner alternative for Wordpress

Wordpress Feedburner Alternative

October 6th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Tutorial

Are you sick of feedburner? Well I am, and I have decided to take action. I discovered this article, which showcased 2 plugins to mimic the main features of feedburner, feed statistics and “subscribe via email”. Both work pretty well with the added advantage of not having to serve your feed through a 3rd party, with everything done through wordpress.
You can take a look at the feed statistics of this site for an example. The plugin usage and documentation are well covered in the article, so I will offer you the image and CSS for use with feedstats. To save time, you can download the image or the PSD.

<div id="feedstats">
<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedstats-de/" target="_blank">
<?php feedstats_getfeeds_button(); ?>
</a>
</div>

Example how you can use the code.

#feedstats {
float:right;
width: 92px;
height: 25px;
font-size: 10px;
background:url(images/feedstats.gif) no-repeat;
}
 
#feedstats a {
position:relative;
top: 3px;
right: 7px;
width: 50px;
color: #000;
float: right
}

The CSS……

Well, what’s provided is just some basic examples for my personal usage, and I hope this can save you some time. So go ahead and break free from feedburner, because FEEDBURNER SUCKS!

Neowster is short for Noel's & Esther's Own World. This is a personal hobbyist site, maintained mainly for the purpose of honing my knowledge in WordPress, and sharing useful information or knowledge to make someone's life easier.
