I’m trialling using feedburner and the WP feedburner plugin to get a handle on subscriber readership levels amongst a few other reasons. I’m using .htaccess re-write rules, so it should be 100% transparent. :)

I am precisely considering doing the same trick for the same reason… tell us your thoughts after you’ve made the change :)

So far, it’s been pretty good - although performance (a lack of) has been a bit of a concern.
I’m still pondering whether to keep the feeds through feed burner. It’s a pretty good service and the feed stats are certainly useful.
You’d think there would be a plethora of RSS feed statistics scripts and softwares out there - so far feedburner is one of the few ways to get good, solid RSS feed stats.
The plugin certainly helps, if one has mod_rewrite as part of their Apache web hosting package, then it’s a simple button click to enable / disable the feed via feedburner.
I’ve found it worthwhile so far. :)
