FeedBurner URL design tip
January 6, 2010 · Chris Peters
In case you weren't aware, you can create a FeedBurner URL with forward slashes in it. I like this because you can design subfolders off of a main folder. Combine with MyBrand, and you have a rather intuitive system for feed URLs.

Consider this example for CFWheels. There is a main feed with all site updates: http://feeds.cfwheels.org/cfwheels
When I burned that feed, I signed up for “cfwheels” as my feed URL.
But if you want to subscribe to the blog only, you can subscribe to this feed: http://feeds.cfwheels.org/cfwheels/blog
I signed up for “cfwheels/blog” as my feed URL in that case.
And here is the screencasts feed: http://feeds.cfwheels.org/cfwheels/screencasts
Et cetera, et cetera.
It’s a very nice way to show the user what they’re subscribing to and where the URL resides in the information space.
