After short consideration, I’ve decided to move the blog feed to FeedBurner. It's a service which can generate a mirror blog feed and gathers varios statistics on its use, as well as provides additional tools to work with the feed. The main reason is that if I ever decide to move the blog the feed will remain in the same place, although the links to the achieved posts will probably get broken. I’m not planning to do that, but it’s hard to predict what will happen in the future. Another good reason is that FeedBurner will gather statistics on the blog, such as how many people are reading it. This move should also help to eliminate different problems with the feed that are present in CS 1.0.

I had to modify Blue Curve skin so that all links would point to the new feed. It was simple but I did have to brush the dust off my ASP.NET developer hat, as I haven’t used it in a while. The code is using current blog’s name to generate the feed link in the form of http://feeds.feedburner.com/BlogName with all spaces removed. I’ve also added reader counter, and it’s 0, what a surprise. Anyway, if you’re interested in checking out the skin here’s the link to archive - http://www.emeraldhand.com/cs/blogs/worm_in_liquid_maze/BlueCurveForFeedburner.zip
