I have a client that is using the basic feed for their WordPress site (www.website.com/feed). She is asking how many people are subscribed to her feed. Is there an easy way to do this? I thought you could with Google Reader, but I guess those are only the statistics for Google Reader. I know Feedburner can do that, but will hooking up the feed to feedburner effect how the feed currently works on the site?
Thanks!
You want to start to use feedburner.
This article lays out some good ways to do that.

Using plugins, custom functions, and editing .htaccess files.
Because you already have this setup, I would recommend the .htaccess method.
Ask Apache full details.
