HOW-TO: Set-up Feedburner

This HOW-TO assumes that you're administrator of slate. This HOW-TO also assumes that you're trying to track statistics for the RSS feed for a blog already in production in slate.

  1. Go to the blog site you want to add Feedburner too
  2. Copy down the RSS feed address (e.g. slateinfo.blogs.wvu.edu/blog/rss)
  3. Go to Feedburner at http://feedburner.com
  4. Put the RSS feed you copied into the submit box
  5. Click 'Next >>'
  6. Set-up an account with Feedburner. Important''' Each blog will have to have it's own account so that we can limit access appropriately.
  7. The account username should be the site's Gmail account minus the period (e.g. wvuslateslateblog) and the password the same as the Gmail account password.
  8. Once the account is set-up let the end-user know that this metric is available to them.
