Ways To Check The Feed Size

Another reference post here for me so I don't lose this information since it is very handy.

Just to check the size, paste the feed URL into http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html 

and see Content (Length = 146613). 

Save the feed to local file, see the file size in whatever file manager/Explorer you're using. 

View the source of the feed, copy&paste into notepad++ , see the file size at the bottom statusbar. 

Gives better options in counting/finding reasons for a too large filesize. 

(though view-source:URL in Chrome counts pretty well too)

Information For Viewing More Of Feed

In order to see more than just the standard twenty five posts that come up in the feed at any one time, you can add the following to the end of the rss feed url to see 500 (if you have that many) posts instead.

?max-results=500

Directions For Viewing Feedburner Email Subscription Details

In your Feedburner account, you can see your email subscriptions.

Note that once you start using Feedburner, you might also have subscribers through Google Reader and iGoogle and those numbers are reflected in the total number of subscribers (so it isn't just email when you see the number for your blog).

Once you are on your Feedburner account, click on the blog in question, then on Publicize Tab and then Email Subscriptions, then Subscription Management, scroll to the bottom and you can click on View Subscriber Details.

FAQ: What Is My Blog's Feed URL?

In order to subscribe to a blog's feed you need to know the blog's feed URL. A feed is a data format used for providing users with frequently updated content. Content distributors syndicate a web feed, thereby allowing users to subscribe to it. It gives users a way to keep up with many sites on the web without having to visit each site individually to see if they have updated. Some users use their feed to check that their own blog is publishing correctly.

The feed urls for blogs on Blogger are:

http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/full

http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

Users should substitute their blog's name in for the bolded area in the URLs above.

FAQ: What Is My Comment Feed URL?

There are several reasons why a user might want to know the feed url for their comments. Some users want to be able to see their comments without having to visit their blog or go to each post or have their comments all emailed to them. Some users might want to add a gadget to their blog that uses the feed to populate the gadget.

The feed urls for your blog that relate to the comments are:

http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/full

http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=rss

You just need to substitute in your blog's name in the bolded area of the above urls. You can then use that url to subscribe using a feed reader or to use in a gadget on your blog to show recent comments on the sidebar.
