I’m sorry to say this, but that solution is not a solution, what happens with all your users that are already subscribed to the blog? they stop receiving feeds? not the way to go.
As Simon already stated, it’s best to use a plugin if you change themes frequently. Unlike him, I use the Flagrant Disregard Feedburner plugin because it redirects the feed link to feedburner feeds, so new users will get the new feed and your existant readers will still receive the regular feed.

Heh, I did this myself as well recently. The sidebar link was a manual link to Feedburner and I hadn’t changed it over.
Have to agree though, use a plugin. Much easier.

Nice tips, that will work for non-plugin users. Not all use a feedburner feedsmith plugin

If you change themes frequently, it’s probably better to rely on a plugin for this. Feedburner have one themselve:
