If you are new to blogging, you may not know what an RSS feed is. Well, to get one, which you need for a successful blog, you can obtain it at FeedBurner.

Feedburner is a free utility that lets you gain subcribers, track visitors, and provides all sorts of interesting stats that can help your blog become successful.

A feed will allow you to ping your blog to directories like Technorati, Google and Yahoo Blog directories as well as many, many more. You can add subscription chicklets to your blog. My chicklets, one on the top-right for the xml feed and one in the top-left for email feed subscribers, both come from FeedBurner.

What can you track with FeedBurner?
