== Description ==

**FeedBurner Feed Stats** is a plugin that allows you to view your 
FeedBurner feed stats from inside of the WordPress admin interface.  
Stats for your feed can be viewed from the "Feed Stats" page in the 
"Dashboard" section of WordPress.

Currently, this plugin allows you to view the following types of 
statistics:

* Subscribers
* Hits
* Reach (see the FAQ section for more information about this)
* Item Clickthroughs
* Item Views

**Note:** This is a third-party plugin for viewing data from the 
FeedBurner web service. I am *not* in any way affiliated with FeedBurner.

== Installation ==

Installing this plugin into your copy of WordPress and configuring it is 
a three-step process:

1. Download the plugin and extract the feed-stats folder into a 
temporary location. Copy this folder into your wp-content folder in your 
installation of WordPress.
1. In the "Plugins" page of the "Plugins" section of the admin 
interface, click on the "Activate" button next to this plugin's name.
1. Under the "Feed Stats" page of the "Settings" section of the admin 
interface, type in the name of your feed on FeedBurner. Click the "Save 
Settings" button.

You're done! You can now see the stats of your feed in the "Feed Stats" 
page of the "Dashboard" section of WordPress' admin interface.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What are "Reach" stats? =

According to FeedBurner, "Reach" stats describe how many of your 
subscribers actively click on and view items in your feed.  For more 
information on this, you can view the 
["What is Reach?"](http://www.google.com/support/feedburner/bin/answer.py?answer=78954) 
article in the FeedBurner Help Center.

= How do I know what the name of my FeedBurner feed is? =

Look at the link to your FeedBurner Feed. It's that link, but without 
the http://feeds.feedburner.com/ part. For instance, let's say that the 
URL for your feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/Speedbreeze. The name 
of the feed is just the "Speedbreeze" part at the end.

= What's the "Awareness API"? =

The Awareness API is the system that FeedBurner created to allow 
applications (like this plugin) to access your statistics.  You *will* 
have to manually enable it in the admin panel of your FeedBurner account 
in order to use this plugin (it's turned off by default).  More 
information about enabling it is below.

= How do I enable the Awareness API? =

To enable the Awareness API, login to your FeedBurner account, click on 
"My Feeds" and select the feed you want to enable the API for from the 
list. Click on the "Publicize" tab and then click on the "Awareness API" 
link under the services column. Finally, click on the "Activate" button.

= How are the charts displayed? =

The charts are displayed using the [Google Charts API](http://code.google.com/apis/chart/). 
Additional chart making software or graphics software (like GD) doesn't 
have to be installed on your server to run this plugin.

= How many days of stats does the plugin display? =

By default, 12 days of hits, subscribers, and reach stats are shown.  
I've found that 12 days of stats displays well in the charts in the 
dashboard.  If you wish to change this, the number of days is 
configurable from the "Feed Stats" page in the "Settings" section of the 
WordPress admin interface.

= What browsers will this plugin work in? =

As of version 1.0.4, this plugin has been tested in (and known to work
well in) the following set of browsers:

* Internet Explorer 6
* Opera 9.5
* Safari 3
* Firefox 3
* Google Chrome beta
