How to Change From a Blogger FTP to Feedburner
If you previously used File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, to host your Blogger blog, the URL that supplies your Really Simple Syndication, or RSS, feed is no longer valid. FeedBurner – a Web feed management provider – enables you to change the existing Blogger information so your readers continue to receive RSS updates without interruption. Update the Blogger source feed in FeedBurner to allow it to get data from your new Blogger URL address.
