So I had that little problem creating new font files for sIFR3. As I posted yesterday, I either got the “Please pass in your text.” error or just a blank where my text should be. It turns out that whenever I used the text tool in Flash to select the text and change it to another font I ended up with a blank font .swf. When creating new font files for sIFR3 just open the .fla in Flash (I am using CS3) and using the select tool double click the movie clip in the library. When the movie clip opens it will automatically select the text box. At that point you can change the font to be used in the file, save movie as (I use the font name for the font file) and export the movie. You can test the movie before exporting and if you see “Rendered with sIFR3…” it means the font file is working correctly.

It was so easy to install and configure I thought I might have missed something… For those who are looking for information on the process here is a simplified version of it: 1- Create your feed on Feedburner by using your WP’s feed url (usually something like yoursite.com/feed). Make sure you write down the feedburner url for your new feed. 2- Download and install plugin Feedburner Feedsmith Plugin. 3- Configure your plugin using the feedburner URL you created on step 1. 4- Replace your default RSS link with the feedburner URL and your done. I hope this might help others get through the process.
