Working on my new home (https://davidaugust.ghost.io/ on day 2 of my 124 day trial) for my articles and #blogging, I am realizing that unlike in the past, it might not make sense to use feedburner anymore.
My new home will allow me to have the whole thing served from a domain I own and control, including feed.
Making a #proxy for the #feed, to preserve #subscribers if I were to change #tech or companies, seems a little superfluous. Am I missing compelling reasons to use #feedburner in 2025?
