If you dig reading 43F in RSS or Atom format, please make sure you’re currently subscribed to the FeedBurner link. It looks like this:
That’s a “smart feed” so you’ll apparently get either RSS or Atom depending on your reader’s preferences. Please don’t ask me to explain how this bit of computer magic works; I don’t actually understand how the water gets in my house, so XML is a bit of stretch for me.
Anyhow, if you’re currently getting the feed through the “www.43folders.com” or “merlin.blogs.com” links, please make sure to resubscribe today then you can delete the old feed from your reader. Cuz they ain’t getting updated no more. Handy, one-click subscription buttons follow:

There's an easy way to...
There’s an easy way to direct all the traffic from your old feeds to the new - you can use a .htaccess file and also rework the header information in your pages to make sure no one gets the old feed.
Here you go:
Header for All 43 Folder Pages:
Note: put the< in front of the
link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rdf+xml” title=”RSS” href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/43Folders” /> link rel=”service.feed” type=”application/atom+xml” title=”Atom” href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/43Folders” />
Info for .htaccess file
Contents of file:
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^rss.xml$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/43Folders [R] RewriteRule ^atom.xml$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/43Folders [R] RewriteRule ^index.rdf$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/43Folders [R] RewriteRule ^index.xml$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/43Folders [R]
You’ll need to double check what you originally called the old RSS and ATOM files - but this is the general setup.
