FeedBurner is a feed management provider that can help you optimize your feed.
If you would like to use a FeedBurner feed for your Typepad blog, you will first need to register for a FeedBurner account.
In 2012, Google shut down many of the features of FeedBurner, including the API which Typepad previously used to connect blogs to FeedBurner. On April 14, 2021, Google announced FeedBurner would no longer offer email subscriptions as part of their services in July 2021. Many of the features of FeedBurner still work with Typepad blogs at this time. However, you may want to consider alternatives as the service is no longer being updated or supported by Google. Typepad has partnered with FeedBlitz to make it easy to optimize your feed and transfer subscribers from FeedBurner. See the FeedBlitz article for more information.
Configuring FeedBurner
Log in to your FeedBurner account and look for the Burn a feed right this instant field. You will enter your blog's URL in the field and click the Next button. FeedBurner will automatically find the feed URL for your blog.

Notes
Some subscribers with blogs using special characters like ampersands (&) and apostrophes (') in their blog title have reported issues when trying to connect their blog to FeedBurner. We recommend removing these special characters and then repeating these steps if you experience this issue.
