Bloglines - feeds consolidated

Yesterday, after weeks of thinking about it, I actually got around to consolidating my feeds for this blog in Bloglines. I did try a while back, but for some reason I just couldn't get the claiming process to work. However, I have now claimed my feeds and marked two of them as duplicates.

I also sorted out the feeds in the sidebar so that the Feedburner version is the one being publicised.

The result of all this is that my feedburner subscribers have shot up from 4 to 26. (20 in Bloglines)
If you are looking to do something similar in Bloglines look for the link to Publisher tools after clicking on Account in the top right of the screen.



Feedburner also provides a service to add the FeedCount as the image associated with the Feed. So this should soon be viewable within feed readers.

Thanks for your tips. I followed the procedure and watched my feedburner subscribers jump from 13 to...... 13. I did have my hopes that your 20 lurkers somehow had subscribed to my blog too :)

You were probably much more sensible than I and didn't have multiple feeds available for a while.

It does take about a day for the subscriber counts to get updated after a feed is marked as a duplicate.
