To add that nifty little line of links to your own posts, simply log in to your Feedburner account and follow these instructions (and theirs as well).

You don't have a Feedburner account? No problem...it's easy to sign up for, and even better, the basic account (which is all you need to add these links) is free. Really.

Once you are logged in to Feedburner, go to the second selection on the top menu tabs, Optimize.

In the Optimize section, go to the left sidebar menu and click on FeedFlare (as shown below).

You should now be on the FeedFlare page. Although it doesn't look like much, this is where all the magic happens:

I have gone ahead and checked the items I have on my own FeedFlare here at Solopreneurial Tendencies, which is exactly what you see below this post on this page - email this, add to del.icio.us, and subscribe to this feed (which is only for the site, because...um...if you were already reading a feed, you wouldn't need to subscribe to it!).

If you don't know if the difference between Feed and Site, maybe you shouldn't be blogging that's a post for another day. (And if you really want to know, let me know and I will create that post...and I won't even make fun of you for asking. Much.)

There are a number of other items listed here for selection, some of which are obvious and others that require outside services (Technorati, Sphere). The only outside service I'm including here is del.icio.us, because that seems to be what most people are interested in learning about.

By now you've chosen your FeedFlare items for both your feed and your site. But you're not quite done yet. Scroll down the page, and you'll see examples of that your selections will look like once implemented, and the magic Activate button.

Go ahead; click it. It won't bite.

Once you've activated FeedFlare, you'll want to get the code and the installation information for your particular blog platform. There you will find a dropdown menu of the most common platforms:

And up will pop instructions for your platform of choice. For demonstration purposes I have selected TypePad.

There are a number of steps, but the good folks at FeedBurner have developed several handy Quicktime movies to demonstrate a number of the steps here.

Once you've put your code in and republished your blog, your entries will have their very own flair...er, FeedFlare.

And yes, as promised last week, I will still show you how I use del.icio.us. Soon. I promise.
