www.feedburner.com is a website that gives syndication or feed services. Based on the data I have read from the page news of this site, now feedburner has been taken over by Google, so we can transfer our blog feed into feed in feedburner.com.

To add HTML code into blog is easy and I believe that you can do it, too. I have explained a lot about this one. If you use classic template, just paste into the template code but if you use new template, just Add a Gadget, then choose HTML/JavaScript, paste the code and done.
Last but not least. As I have explained above that feedburner has been taken over by google. It means that blogger feed can be transferred into feed burner.
