An Easy Way To Add RSS Chicklets
Not all your visitors will be tech savvy users, and even though they might be using a feed reader regularly, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will be familiar with all the terminology.
That being the case it’s a good idea to add some chicklet buttons for the more popular RSS readers to improve your chances of picking up those extra subscribers, who might otherwise not realize they can add your feed.
iFeedReaders has an excellent Chicklet Creator tool which automatically generates chicklet HTML code, so you can easily add individual feed buttons to your blog.
All you have to do is tick the checkboxes for the buttons you want to add, choose the code type, enter your blog details and optional separators, then the tool will generate the necessary code which you can then cut and paste to your blog.

I think it’s too easy to forget that readers aren’t bloggers, and don’t know how these things work - it’s definitely important to make it as easy as possible. After all, it benefits them (because they enjoy your content) as well as you!

Good advice. I’ve been meaning to do it but kept forgetting. Good thing I saw this post.
