If you run a Joomla! website and use it as a blog you probably want to syndicate your article feeds to readers. Unfortunately the core Joomla! system doesn't give many options to how feeds are created. The easiest way to syndicate articles from different sections and catagories is to install the Ninja RSS Syndicator (Formally BCA RSS Syndicator) and burn your RSS feeds with Feedburner. Once you have your feed submitted to Feedburner there are some tricks to make your site function properly and grade correctly as a Blog with Website Grader.

Edit your .htaccess file to redirect the default Joomla! feed url's to FeedBurner:

RewriteEngine On

# Feedburner
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^format=feed&type=rss$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/FEEDNAME [R=301,L]

Finally edit your Joomla! template and place the following code inside the head tag:

link href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/FEEDNAME" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate"

Make sure to replace FEEDNAME with the correct name for your feed.

There you go, your RSS feeds are burned and you can start publicizing your website's content through RSS.
