Tutorial : Display no.of RSS Readers using Feedburner API and PHP (curl)

Most of you who have blogs/website might be aware of FeedBurner. Its a service which provides custom RSS Management tools like Analysing Web-Traffic, the number of readers subscribed to you blog etc. I too use Feedburner to help me keep track of my feeds and its readers. Although I love their service, I always found the FeedBurner Chicklet (It displays the number of readers subscribed to your RSS) to be a constraint, it isn`t that flexible i.e We can modify the color of the chicklet but not the chicklet it self. So I decided to create my own Chicklet to help me display the number of readers subscribed to my blog. (Although the number isn`t that big )
