Hello,

I have one confusion. According to my Blogger DB, I have 0 subscribers Cry, but according to Google feedburner, I have got 4. Cool Which one is correct? Innocent Also, why this discrepancy? As far as I know, both Blogger and feedburner are ultimately owned by Google, isn't it? Innocent

So my final question is, should I be Cry or Cool?

Thanks,

Pankti

I would go with the feedburner... may be it's a more specialised branch for feed related things [running out of solid supportive arguments]

Ok. So according to you, I should be Cool

Let's see what other tech gurus here have to say...

Where does Blogger DB show subscribers? Innocent

Coming to feedburner, there are two things :

Feed Subscribers : See this page page to know how they are calculated. This number is not accurate.

E Mail Subscribers : You can see it from Publicise > E Mail Subscriptions in your feedburner account. This is accurate.

Ranjith, I saw the subscribers at the latter page you mentioned. In blogger DB, the overview section has a coloum of Followers. I presume that Blogger's Followers and E-Mail Subscribers mean the same thing because when I had one subscriber, both showed one. And now there's a discrepancy.

Anunoy Samanta

Hehee follower and subscriber are not the same....

Fairy Princess

AS, seriously? Innocent Then does that mean, once upon a time I had a follower and subscriber both? And now I have 0 follower and 4 subscribers? Innocent This is so confusing Yell

Pankti, the one blogger dashboard shows as followers is the number of followers via Google Friend Connect. Laughing

FP Tongue out

ND RSS = Really Simple Syndication.

It is a format which is used by websites to inform programs about their new content. If people who are keeping an eye on your post are people, may be you can write one a paper that you have updated your blog and stick it at the entrance of your house. Every one who passes by your house will see it, visit your blog and reads.

But, the things why keep an eye on your blog are programs and they can't understand sentences like 'I updated my blog. Tell to all those people who are using you to read my blog'.

There exists a format ( like on first write the title, second line date, third line post snippet. Between every entry, leave a blank line - Actual format is not as simple as this )

People use RSS readers to follow blogs. These RSS readers allow you to add websites ( their RSS feed urls ) These programs retrieve your RSS feed every few minutes / hours and check if it is changed, If it is changed, they find out what the new content is. People who use rss readers simply open therr rss readers and it shows posts from all the sites they follow at one place.
