IMPORTANT:
Make a back up of your .htaccess file. You can do this by downloading the .htaccess file and then copying it, not moving it, to a new folder on your computer.

What it’s supposed to do:
===
The address http://www.shadowsinmotion.com/feed/ was supposed to automatically redirect to http://feeds.feedburner.com/ShadowsInMotion , but unfortunately that wasn’t happening. The /feed/ URI was still pulling directly from WordPress.
===
The fix that I applied:
===
I deleted the following two lines from .htaccess:
RewriteRule ^feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /index.php?&feed=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /index.php?&feed=$1 [QSA,L]
Why did I remove those? Because those are instructions that WordPress automatically adds to .htaccess when you make use of the permalink option. My hunch was that those two lines were over riding the new ReWrite rule that Ordered List’s Feed Burner plugin had entered into .htaccess.
caveat: I am not an expert with .htaccess and I may not fully understand the ramifications of removing the above code. Simply, my feed and the redirection appears to be working properly for me now, but please be careful to make a backup of your .htaccess file in case this solution does not work for you - or worse, causes you additional problems!
