  Hi,

  I would like to know how to go about adding subscription buttons to my blog as well as the orange RSS button.

  Here is a blog that has the sort of buttons I’m referring to…

  http://openanthropology.wordpress.com/

  I am going to be posting a video very shortly and would like to maximize the syndication of it. My theme is The Journalist v1.9, I am not familiar with HTML, and I am also dealing with the challenges of a Brain Injury that make it more difficult for me to understand multi-step processing…. so the simpler that you can explain this… the better I will understand. It’s particularly helpful if any written instructions also include pictorial examples that I can follow… or a video.

  Any assistance that you can provide is much appreciated.

  Regards,
  Jules

  The easiest way to add an RSS button to your blog is to pick a theme that has it built in. You can see all the themes under Appearance->Themes.

  The second-easiest way is to put the RSS widget in your sidebar and put your own feed URL in it. In this case your feed URL is http://openanthropology.wordpress.com/feed
