Did I shoot myself with Feedburner?

A few months ago I set up an account with feedburner, and installed the feedburner feedsmith plugin, which now sends all my subscriptions to my feedburner feed, the idea being I would be able to find out more about who’s subscribing, and if I’m honest, a little bit selfishly wanted to know how many people [...]

New version of Flock

I’m having a bit of a sort out, both on and offline, and that includes finally getting my PC laptop sorted.
