Description
Feedburner is an awesome feed management service. You can do some magic using Feedburner and letting them manage your feeds.
Simply go the http://www.feedburner.com and paste URL address of the feed (or web page that contains the feed). In this example I have used the feed from the main http://www.wikidot.com page with Wikidot.com news.
I have simply put http://www.wikidot.com into Feedburner. However on the main Wikidot's page there already is a FrontForum module that generates a feed from selected categories.
Ok, what I can do now? Feedburner rewrites my feed which is now available at: http://feeds.feedburner.com/wikidot/news. This is also readable by browsers that can not handle feeds. Firefox 2.0 handles them nicely allowing you to subscribe to feeds, but Firefox 1.5 and Explorer 6 can not do this.
Now when the feed is added you can do various things:
Allowing users to subscribe by email
Form
Simply go (within your Feedburner account) to Publicize » Email subscriptions, copy the form HTML and paste it like this:
[[embed]]
<form style="border:1px solid #ccc;padding:3px;text-align:center;" action="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://www.feedburner.com', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"><p>Enter your email address:</p><p><input type="text" style="width:140px" name="email"/></p><input type="hidden" value="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~e?ffid=578946" name="url"/><input type="hidden" value="Wikidot.com news" name="title"/><input type="submit" value="Subscribe" /><p>Delivered by <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/" target="_blank">FeedBurner</a></p></form>
[[/embed]]
which results in a subscription form:
You can actually use it to receive daily digest of Wikidot.com site news by email.
Simple link
If the form above does not work, try this:

I wanted to warn everyone about controlling your original feed size for feedburner. They have a limit of 512 kb and that is quite a bit. However if you have a large amount of content and you let your feed grow unmonitored feedburner will stop updating it when it reaches the limit.
I don't know any special ways of controlling feed size with wikidot but you can do it all sorts of ways, I suppose. I just use a tag for my main site feed. So that tags can be removed from older posts or a new tag can be chosen, etc…
To check the size of your feed you can go here to web sniffer and enter in your wikidot feed url. It will give you a size in kib.
If there is a way of automatically limiting feed size that would be great.

after the code?
I tried with my own feeds on my own wiki. Got the same error message.
Something might be wrong with the parsing authentification of this solution.

What if i wanna change vice versa? I wanna add the RSS feed into my wiki site.Please give me some directions.
It didn't work for me either. Finally I have to use the standard http link for both RSS and Email subscription on my wiki site:
