A Multiple FeedBurner Option
I am going to be submitting this idea into FeedBurner, so after you read this article and feel it would be a great idea, take a moment to show your support and drop a comment. Perhaps, if there is a lot of comments on this article it might sway FeedBurner to take action and work on development on this idea.
Multiple FeedBurner Option
Many bloggers, such as myself, publish content on many blogs. I write and publish content on my main blog here at Garry Conn dot Com, but I also make guest appearances and publish content on many other blogs. Additionally, I contribute in many social media places and help towards making online communities better. Some examples include answering questions at WordPress.org and using StumbleUpon to help the community find useful information quickly.
Most of all the places I contribute to offer a unique RSS feed URL that can be burned in FeedBurner. That is great! But, it does pose a problem for people like me. I want and encourage my readers to follow my activities online. But in order to do so, I must promote and make visible multiple feeds for my readers to subscribe to. This can get messy and make it hard for people to follow what I do.
Examples:
- Garry Conn dot Com feed = 20 most recent posts on my personal blog.
- GarryConn’s Stumble Upon = 10 most recent stumble upon entries.
- Blog The Internet Author Garry Conn feed = 50 most recent posts on Blog The Internet.
- Blogging Fingers Author Garry Conn feed = 10 most recent posts on Blogging Fingers.
- Can I Make Big Money Online Author Garry Conn feed = 10 most recent posts on Can I Make Big Money Online.
With the above examples, a reader who enjoys following what I write would have to subscribe to five different RSS feed URLs to keep up with with what I publish on the Internet.
Why not offer publishers a Multiple Feedburner Option? I have provided a mock up screen shot below:
By offering publishers like myself the ability to consolidate and burn multiple RSS feeds and syndicate them all together into one FeedBurner URL, it will make things a lot easier for readers who want to follow and read everything that is published by the author. Instead of subscribing to multiple RSS feeds, the reader only has to subscribe to one FeedBurner URL.
Again, I am going to be blasting this idea to the FeedBurner staff, if you think this would be a great idea, drop a comment below. I can only imagine that the more comments on something like this would be the better!

For example, what if you regularly author on 2 blogs and I subscribe to both. If you chose to have one of those sites’ feed contain your posts from the other blog then I (the subscriber) would end up reading content twice.

I subscribe to the RSS feed of a Google Blogsearch for Garry Conn.
Click Here for an example.
You can do the search and then subscribe to the feed, or just take this link and change the last 2 paramters, q=[search+string]

With me guest blogging on other blogs, I bring my readers with me… that is partly the point to guest blogging. So, when I bring my readers with me, they can choose to join that community feed or not. One thing remains though, regardless of where I blog, my readers can follow and read everything I write. I doesn’t matter if it on a blog or if I hand write an XML file for inclusion. It’s all the same to my readers. It’s all about the content that I write and my readers having an easy ability to follow me everywhere I go.
Look at it this way… when you know that a favorite public speaker is coming to town, you want to buy tickets to go to the event. There are going to be about 10 other speakers talking during this event. However, you are really only interested in one speaker.
If feedburner.com offered a way for me to include the URLS to the feeds of the places I blog at on a regular basis, people can follow what I write no matter where the origin of syndication is.
My StumbleUpon feed is a great example too… I love my SU account, I have been reviewing music videos on YouTube lately…
My SU account has content that I want to share with my readers. However, in order to do so… its a big pain in the ass because my readers will have to subscribe to two separate feeds.
I also write on your blog (one article) but lets say I that I write on a regular basis on your blog and lets say that my writing is consistent with the content I write here on my personal blog… and lets also say that maybe my readers don’t like the overall content found on the blog that I guest author on, but they love my content…
@ David,
Google provides a great solution to what I am looking for. However, these display search results of content that is related to the search terms of “Garry Conn”. The results in this feed are not full rss feeds, meaning there is only an excerpt of the article that was written. This causes the reader to click and view the full article from the blog. I believe that my content should be available in full feeds. The point of syndicating your content is to allow many different mediums to pick up on the signal. A reader should have the option to read my full article in an RSS reader, xml compliant email client, or direct from the blog, or even syndicated on another blog or site.
Its a great idea and its the only solution I have… Perhaps, we all can cross our fingers and see if the FeedBurner staff can make this option available to us.

I think it would be great if Feedburner allowed something like this.

The solution was right in front of me… I am working on rolling it out now and once I have it done, I am going to write a post about it and edit this one and include a link to it.

you could start a Feedburner Network and sign up every feed in which you appear/write. This way your readers have to subscribe to only one feed, alltough they will get also all the messages of the blogs where you guest posted, it means there will not appear only your post.
Other suggestion:
there is a blogging tool called CoComment, which allows to track all comments you leave on other blogs and visualize them in a box on your blog. It’s not exactly what you were talking about, but something similar.
ciao
