Spice Up Your RSS Icons Life

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Whether your blog sells something or not you still always have an objective of turning a first time reader into an interested subscriber. If that’s not even remotely your subconscious goal then you’d might as well just write your thoughts on a pad of paper or in note pad and save the trouble of publishing them.

I found the image in the link below. They have a plethora of RSS Feed Buttons. Arguably the best I’ve seen in one place online.

60 Great RSS Icons for Your Blog

RSS Subscription buttons play a large role in the number of subscribers you have. The easier and more visible the ability to subscribe; the higher the likely hood of any one visitor subscribing. It should go without saying that you have to write stuff worth reading and be someone others think are worth listening to. Once that’s out of the way make it as easy as possible.

Since this blog is a side project which I basically just do for fun / place to ramble / rant I never really spent much time playing with it. Previously I had a tiny button in the top left. Props to those of you who found it and subscribe; it sure was well hidden. I’m sure many of you noticed I now have a large cup of java with the feed simple in it; hopefully this will make it easier and remind people that if they like it they can always subscribe in their favorite reader.

Spice up your blog today; try another rss feed icon and put it in a prominent place; converting should never be a difficult task for a visitor.

Share and Enjoy: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.

I loved that icon. It looks great on this theme! (Though how does it look when centered in the sidebar?)

Thanks for the tip Michael. Looks better centered only issue is now their is more blank space between the icon and “Talk to us On Twitter” as I had to add Paragraph tags.

Thanks again for sharing such a great list.
