Apache, Typo, and Feedburner

A few weeks ago, I started using FeedBurner and posted a blog entry about how I configured Lighttpd to handle that so it didn’t disrupt everyone that subscribes to my RSS feed. This was working great… until the other day.. when I upgraded to Typo trunk. When I did this, I decided to start using mongrel::cluster and pound. Two days later… I’m noticing that my subscriber count has dropped over thousand people in a day… was it something that I said?
A ha! I was handling the redirect with Lighttpd and had replaced it with Pound.
So, I am now delegating this to Apache.
# Redirect typo feeds to FeedBurner
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^FeedBurner.*$
RewriteRule /xml/(atom|rss|rss20)/feed.xml$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/RobbyOnRails [R=temp,L]...and all was well again.
UPDATE
The rewrite condition should be !^FeedBurner.*$ not !^FeedBurner$.
Enjoying the content? Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed.
I restarted Apache, Mongrel and also cleared the cache in Typo, but it still gives me the original Typo feed URL, not the FeedBurner one. What am I missing?
I fixed the problem. The scapegoat was the ordering of the rewrite rules…
Thanks man, your update about !^FeedBurner.*$ save my time! ;-)

I fixed the problem. Search Rewrite – htaccess

Thanks for the tip. :-)
I’m considering switching to typo blog, since blogger just annoys me so much… I’m trying to decide between Wordpress and Typo, which do you think is better for a newbie?

not working for me :( i am using mod rewrite on that site, could that be an issue?
it had some difficulty for me Busby SEO Test
Your rule didn’t work quite right for me, as the version of typo I’m using (5.0.3) redirects to /articles.rss or .atom when you ask for the feed. See my blog post for how I got it working.
