Check out Feedburner
I got an e-mail from Flickr that was pitching a service called FeedBurner. It is a service that extends the functionality of a basic RSS feed. For example, it will convert your RSS or Atom feed so that it is compatible with more readers, format your XML so that it can be readable in a browser and add tracking tags to your feed so that you can track its stats.
Another feature includes the ability to merge your Flickr photo feed with another feed. So instead of having two RSS feeds, one for my blog and one for my Flickr photos, I now have a single FeedBurner feed.
They also have the FeedBurner Headline Animator that allows you to plug in a dynamic little HTML snippet into your e-mail signature or your website. The snippet rotates through your latest RSS headlines.
Feedburner is free, so check it out.
