The 6.x-1.0 beta2 version of the FeedBurner Drupal module is now available, bringing the last few major features I wanted to get in, mainly the email subscription and feed count blocks. My primary focuses for the module are now: Views module feed integration, back-porting the module to 5.x, documentation, and testing. Please give the new version of the module a try and report any bugs! I think I'm also going to try and get my module reviewed by the wonderful chx and Morbus of Drupal Tough Love.

I will have to be closely monitoring the status of the Feedburner to Google Feedburner transition. As of now, the module still works just fine if you have your feeds served by Google. You just need to change the MyBrand domain in the module settings to 'feedproxy.google.com.'

And of course if you like the module, please donate to my laptop fund or review it on drupalmodules.com.

UPDATE: I just released Drupal 6 alpha version of the module ready for testing! Go get it!

So to everyone who's been using my FeedBurner module for Drupal, I'm sorry that development has stagnated recently. I've noticed that lots of people have been wanting a Drupal 6 port of the module and have had to (sometimes unsuccessfully) resort to using .htaccess hacks.

Things should be getting better shortly. Now that I've resigned from position at HuHot (which will warrant a more personal, longer post), I should be able to better balance normal stuff with programming. I've begun porting/developing the module for Drupal 6.x and will not be working on the 5.x version of the module. Maybe at some point I'll be able to maintain two different versions, but for me right now it's a little difficult. I'll get better at it I suppose. My goal is to get a beta release of the module out by August 4th. I also hope to have a job by then too. Thanks for your support and patience.

If you want to help even more, you can donate to my replacement laptop fund (my laptop is my primary development machine and dying). Just a little plug for that.
