On websites we develop for clients we always add this widget to their WordPress Dashboard to keep them informed on general updates regarding their websites. We thought it would be a handy tool for other developers, so we turned the widget into a plugin.
The default settings are:
<ul>
<li>the standard title of the widget box is “Recent Updates”</li>
<li>as we needed a default feed URL we use the feed of WP TIPS, one of our own websites</li>
<li>the default number of RSS items is 3</li>
<li>do not open link in new tab (since 2014.07.27)</li>
<li>yellow background color of the widget (<code>#FFFF99</code>)</li>
</ul>
We have decided to only support this plugin through <a href="https://github.com/senlin/so-dashboard-feed-widget/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>. Therefore, if you have any questions, need help and/or want to make a feature request, please open an issue over at Github. You can also browse through open and closed issues to find what you are looking for and perhaps even help others.

Try it out on your free dummy site: Click here => <a href="https://tastewp.com/plugins/feedburner-alternative-and-rss-redirect" rel="nofollow ugc">https://tastewp.com/plugins/feedburner-alternative-and-rss-redirect</a>. 
(this trick works for all plugins in the WP repo – just replace “wordpress” with “tastewp” in the URL)
This plugin allows you to easily switch from Feedburner to the FREE (on the <a href="https://follow.it/features-and-pricing" rel="nofollow ugc">basic plan</a>) and better Feedburner alternative follow.it.
Read more why follow.it is the <a href="https://follow.it/?page=3" rel="nofollow ugc">better Feedburner alternative</a>.
The plugin is very easy to use:
<ul>
<li>Step 1: Download, install & activate it</li>
<li>Step 2: Click on “Apply redirect” for all feeds you want to redirect (most likely your main feed, as well as some comments & author feeds you may have)</li>
<li>Step 3: Connect it to a follow.it account to get access to your subscribers, see statistics etc. (see screenshots)</li>
</ul>
Once the redirect is active, your RSS-url will redirect to your new feed page where users can subscribe to your feed.
If you had former Feedburner subscribers, follow the steps as prompted in the plugin to move them over to your new feed (RSS as well as Email subscribers).
If something is not working in the Feedburner alternative plugin, please post a question in the support forum. Thank you!
