How to create a your own Feedburner feed count page
If you use Feedburner you know that it's kind of fun to log into your Feedburner account and see how many subscribers you have to your feeds. For those times I want to do a quick check I thought I'd create a web page that would display my feed counts so I didn't have to log in. Cool part is, there's no tricky programming or anything. Just a little bit of set up on the feed burner side and some copy/paste operations.
Here we go...
Open Notepad or some similar text editor and paste in the following HTML code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Stats from Feedburner</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Next, log into Feedburner. Go to your feed, click the Publicize tab and then click Feed Count on the left hand side. If you have not activated Feed Count, click the Activate button at the bottom. When Feed Count is active you'll see some HTML code where it says 'Copy this HTML'. Copy the code. Back in Notepad, between the body tags, type the name of your blog followed by <br /> then paste the Feed Count Code. Add another <br /> after the code.
That's it. If you have other feeds, get the Feed Count code from them and paste it below the previous Feed Count code.
You can get as fancy as you want by coloring your Feed Counts or adding CSS to your stats page. Go crazy. For me, it's just for a quick glance so I didn't care about all that.
Now you can save your page. Anytime you want to see your stats, just double-click on your file. No log in! Heck, you didn't even need a web server! Though you could put it on a server if you have some space out there some where. Mine is here to give you a visual if you had any trouble following what I said above: TechLifeWeb Feedburner Stats

True Simone. Thats a great service and I meant to mention it in the article. However my reason for creating this was for a quick glance rather than waiting for the feed at the end of the day or whenever that updates.
