Adam -

Thanks for the comment. Feedburner’s password protection was basically the best way that I could password protect the feed so that it was readable by FreeMyFeed (and could thus be un-encrypted for normal feed readers). When you password protect the feed using the plugin I installed (or manually at the server level) I was unable to properly get FreeMyFeed to show the feed.

I’m sure it’s possible, but it wasn’t that important to me/us for the stuff we’re using it for. Down the road I may build a more secure, more sophisticated system from scratch.

Also – the only reason I even messed with the feeds was because I knew my partners would never visit the site directly and I needed a quick way to get it on their Google start page. If that wasn’t the case I would totally disable the feed and just leave the site itself password protected.

Btw Prolouge is very cool.

Thanks for reading.

Adam
