How to transfer an RSS feed in FeedBurner

How to transfer an RSS feed in FeedBurner

I recently acquired a blog which had an RSS feed powered by FeedBurner. The problem is that as the subscribers are subscribed to the FeedBurner URL which is usually in the form of feeds.feedburner.com/yourfeedname. This means that it cannot be transfer as if it was a feed being subscribed to directly from the URL or your blog.

This means that the feed needs to be transferred from the sellers account to the buyers account. Fortunately this is relatively straight forward as there is a form you can fill in to initiate the process.

All you need to do is fill in the name of the feed, the account you are transferring the account from and the account the feed needs to be transferred to. The user of the account the feed is being transferred will eventually get an email which needs to be replied to, to accept the transfer.

This post is from the Newsniche website and should not be reproduced elsewhere. Why not subscribe to the RSS feed and get this information delivered straight to your News reader.
