I have a site which I assumed people wouldn’t use the feed of, but according to the stats, the feeds are getting quite a few hits. So I was thinking of using Feedburner instead so that I can track exactly how many people are using the feed. I normally just remove the feed link for my WordPress feeds and add a link to my Feedburner feeds, but then the people who are already using my feed will be still using the default WordPress ones, not Feedburner. I could setup an .htaccess redirect, but Feedburner is using those feeds to generate the feed for my site.

I’m loathe to add another plugin, plus this seems like something which should be simple to do the old fashioned way – but I can’t for the life of me figure out how.

Hopefully this makes sense, if not I’ll try to reword it.

The answer to your question is no, you don’t have to modify the autodiscovery if you are using the plugin. The plugin will route all requests for any of the WordPress created feeds to your FeedBurner feed. Hope that helps!
