Add your website URL in the field marked red and in the next step you are directed to various steps to setup your account. Remember the field address which you will enter in one of the steps, you will need this address later. It will be something like http://feeds.feedburner.com/your website title . In your case it may be different.Now, whatever you post on your website, Feedburner will automatically grab that post and convert it into feeds.
