Headline Animator Overhaul, Part 2
2007-01-10 15:40:54
We are a people who like to provide clues to what we're up to, so when we write "Part 1" in a post title, that is our way of signaling the market that there will be other parts, possibly starting with a Part 2. And lo, here we are with the next phase of the Headline
Animator
Overhaul
from brushed metal ugly duckling of the widget world to multi-functional, multi-purpose content sharing tool.
There were lots of publisher requests for default themes, so we've brought the following new favors to the Animator party: nine, count 'em, nine new Theme variations to bring added variety to how you choose to boost subscription to your content. There are new sizes and styles for advertisers, blogs, podcasts, vlogs/videocasts/v-is-for-victorycasts, and a special little number we like to call the Seasonal Theme. This theme's background will update for you automatically as time moves on, with apologies to our friends in the Southern Hemisphere right now for whom this will certainly make no sense
What's Up With That? Vol. 1
2007-01-08 22:19:12
Judging by the grand total of two comments on last month’s Mystic Statistics Heuristics post, we’re guessing that there aren’t any remaining questions about what we do here at FeedBurner to calculate all those media metrics we provide to our publishers. Or, maybe the post was just too darned long and boring and you're all tired of Dick's jokey post titles. We'll assume the latter since we know there's a lot of continuing curiosity about how stats work, how we count, what doesn't count, what does count, etc.
This post is the first in a regular series, "What's Up With That?", from the Publisher Services Team to transparently describe how FeedBurner works and what we’ve learned about the wonderful world of distributed media measurement. If you have a topic you’d like to see us tackle, send us an e-mail at publishers@feedburner.com, or just post a question on your blog and let us know.
In the past couple of weeks, there's been a fair amount of discussion about subscrib

Update: Welcome, Performancing Metrics Users! If you arrived here by way of Nick Wilson's post recommending that current Metrics stats package users give FeedBurner's site statistics a try, we're quite happy to see you.
As promised, site statistics are now live. Our architecture conversion work after the BlogBeat acquisition is complete, and our free StandardStats service now enables any of our publishers to track both feed and site audience, all from the comfort of your FeedBurner account. There is a lot to discuss, so this post will cover how to get started, what you get when you activate site statistics, what's coming next, and our vision for how the pieces all fit together.
Getting Started
If you have already enabled FeedFlare for your site, good news: FeedBurner uses the same JavaScript for both FeedFlare and site stats tracking. All you need to do is go to the Analyze tab and check the "Track metrics for my site" checkbox on your StandardStats service (or TotalStats, our pr

Saturday Subscriber Count Drop?
2007-11-04 10:05:08
If you saw your subscriber count drop precipitously in your Saturday
, November 3rd summary from FeedBurner, the reason is that specific subscriber stats from Google Feedfetcher were offline because this service was apparently out late with friends on Friday night, and well, it completely slept through Saturday. It appears to have rallied, however, and amid firm declarations of "I'm never doing that again", Feedfetcher has started diligently reporting subscriber numbers to us, early this morning Pacific Time. FeedBurner publishers' subscriber counts should be closer to what you'd normally expect starting with reports that will be available on Monday morning.
