Hows to add RSS subscription buttons
-
I’m sorry in advance for posting this, as I know it must have been answered already — in fact, I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere. But I’ve looked for a good while now without success.
I want to put RSS subscription service buttons in my sidebar. Probably could do it one by one using text, but is there set done up already. I noticed that some of the earlier discussions on this topic have how-to links that have expired. -
There is an RSS feed widget in your Sidebar Widgets page under Presentation. It does need configuring, though, or it won’t show up at all. Just type your feed into it in the right spot and tell it how many posts to display.

Thanks Raincoaster. I have that one done all right.
What I am looking for is the bunch of logos for Yahoo!, Google, and all the other feed readers. I’m trying to make it as simple as possible for ppl to subscribe. -
Nah, the poster want one for putting those little icon thingies in there.
I had done up an article about it but the text file is missing. Well, that’s annoying.
If you’re signed up with feedburner, they have a cod egenerator that you can use to make the buttons. You’ll just have to copy and paste the code into Notepad and do a search and replace on the URL from the feedburner URL to the one for your blog.
Hope this helps,

OK. The Feedburner process is quite manual (why they don’t just give them all in one go, I don’t know). So I’ve copied in (most) of the services. Just find/replace the feedburner url with your own, and don’t forget to change the title text too.
Hope this is of use to someone!
PS: rather than have the buttons take over the sidebar, I created a separate page for them .
