FeedBurner MyBrand Fix

In Web on January 19, 2009 by Josh Moles Tagged: ,

Last night, I linked my FeedBurner account with my Google Account. After doing so and follwing the instructions to update my CNAME records for MyBrand, I was getting 404 errors on all of the feeds. This post describes how I got them working again.


To get it working again after you transfer your FeedBurner account over to your Google account, deactivating and reactivating MyBrand seems to get it going again. Here are the steps on how to do that:

  1. Login to the new FeedBurner control panel (http://feedburner.google.com/)
  2. Click on “My Account” at the top
  3. Click on “MyBrand” on the left
  4. Take note of your feed specific domains and then click “Deactivate” at the bottom
  5. Reactivate the service
  6. Retype in all of your feed specific domains and click Save
  7. Update your CNAME records to the new Google ones (shown on the MyBrand page on step 2)

Seems like the transition is still somewhat in beta, but at least now subscribers should still be able to get the feed!
