the answer to the burning question:

Q: I want to create different feeds for each WordPress Category / tags or Search Label in Blogger. Can FeedBurner assist me here?

A: Unfortunately no. You will have to manually create a FeedBurner feed for each category or tag. But there’s a small trick that will make your category feeds looks consistent.

Say your main feed address is feeds.feedburner.com/hello - then for each category, you may create feeds like feeds.feedburner.com/hello/category instead of feeds.feedburner.com/hello_category. FeedBurner supports the the slash separated directory structure in the URLs.

The HTML our ChickletChooser service would provide you is the following example:

 

<p><a href="http://fusion.google.com/add?feedurl=http://feeds.feedburner.com/MYFEEDADDRESS"> <img src="http://buttons.googlesyndication.com/fusion/add.gif" alt="Add to Google Reader or Homepage" width="104" height="17" /> </a> </p>

 

Assume your Blogger blog's address is http://myexcellentblog.blogspot.com. You would change the chicklet link code above to read as follows:

 

<p> <a href="http://fusion.google.com/add?feedurl=http://myexcellentblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default"> <img src="http://buttons.googlesyndication.com/fusion/add.gif" alt="Add to Google Reader or Homepage" width="104" height="17" /> </a> </p>

 

But wait, you say. I thought this was the point - promote my feed so it gets used and I get all those lovely stats! (You said this with considerable urgency.) It still is the point, but since you're redirecting 100% of your traffic to FeedBurner, the FeedBurner feed will be used at all times. The thing is, if you ever decide to leave us, there will be no hard feelings, but more importantly none of your subscribers will be left high and dry, subscribed to a FeedBurner feed address you no longer use or possibly even deleted. By promoting your original feed link only, you make use of all of FeedBurner's features but make sure your subscribers stay with you, even if you leave FeedBurner.

To summarize: Redirect your feed, but retain your original address for the links you promote.

Looks like Redmond is on board with this standard as well. See http://blogs.msdn.com/rssteam/archive/2005/12/14/503778.aspx.  Apple is sticking with their blue bar. 

An effort to standardize the feed icon...we should join:

Check this out. Feedburner has added this really cool feature to their feeds, which allows you to email, or tag to delicious, an item directly from your feedreader. From techcrunch.

This includes a really great image about the ways feeds have moved from being blog-based to a way of delivering all kinds of content.
