StumbleUpon FeedBurner FeedFlare
After becoming acquainted with FeedBurner and their FeedFlare service I wanted to know where people were getting ‘Stumble It’ to apart on their RSS feeds. I found my answer over at SearchEngineLand.
SeachEngineLand has a posting about StumbleUpon’s New Webmaster Friendly Referral Page and near the bottom of the article is the directly that you can copy and paste over into FeedBurner’s Personal FeedFlare section.
What does this do for me?
Well if you use FeedBurner for your blog’s RSS feed (which most people do), it will add the Stumble It link to the bottom of the feed among the other links like Digg, or Technorati. This will allow people to Stumble you’re RSS posts with even more ease and they won’t need the StumbleUpon toolbar for their favorite web browser either. I personally don’t like tool-bars cluttering up my Firefox.
Just another little useful tidbit for those who blog or are relatively new to blogging like I am.
Thats awesome to know - I’ve been using Feedburner lately to keep track of readers and was looking at adding some new features to my blog today for digg and such - with this addition on Feedburner - it could be a nice little extra set of traffic.
Oh glad you found this. I hope other have a need for it too. I’ve noticed it in the Social Plugin for Wordpress but since I don’t run Wordpress I wasn’t sure where it came from.
Thanks!
You completely custom write this site or use the code of some other system to modify it? Looks great and runs quite well - plus your not the “normal” blog running Wordpress like everyone else.

Thanks for this tidbit of information. I’ve added searchengineland’s xml file to my feedflare, tested it…and it works !
This will be good to have on my feed. I get alot of traffic from stumbleupon.
I’m glad more and more people are finding this useful. And I thank you for visiting and commenting!
Oh I some how missed Nick’s second comment. Sorry about that. This blog is written 100% by me. I’ve taken ‘ideas’ from Wordpress blogs and coded them myself as a way to work on my web development skills.
Tyler - The site looks excellent - keep up the good work - hard work in my opinion for writing your own entire site makes this site better than almost all just thrown together wordpress sites. -N
Oh thanks! I appreciate it. It is a bit of work but I do enjoy it and the challenge it brings me.
Tyler,
Thanks for this tip. I’ve been using Feedburner to aggregate my feeds, and I think I will check this out.
Thanks for stopping by. I might not have known about this if you hadn’t taken the time to visit and leave a comment. I appreciate it.
