   Yeah, I think I am one of those people that does not make my RSS feed obvious enough. I am thinking about adding one of those really huge icons somewhere up nice and high on my site.

   I have a huge icon on Blog-Op, but it was coloured green by the theme designer. I like it, but you make a valid point.

   I wish I knew the best way to attract RSS subscribers: I use a feed search myself, but some people click on the icon, some choose the text…

   FeedBurner is excellent. :-)

   I noticed your green RSS icon Chris. Sure, it ties in with the site and blends with your colour scheme, but do you really want it to blend? If it stands out it’s easier to spot.

   The bright orange can really clash with some colours but it’s a sacrafice I’d be willing to make if it meant an increase in subscribers.

   David, great post

   Chris, I was using the same icon one of my blogs before and i switched to the standard orange icon and it made a huge difference in my subscribers. I recommend all my readers to use the standard icon.

   Sujan, I remember the post you made referring to RSS icons. It was a good read, and one that stuck in my mind.

   heheh, quite true. I turn mine into blue. Well I hope the symbol is clear enough. Anyways I might turn it back to the orange. I’ve always liked orange.

   Thanks and please keep intouch.

   DT, I actually think the standard RSS orange would nicely compliment the shade of blue you use.

   You have a good subscriber base and it would be interesting to know if your figures improve at a faster rate with an icon that stands out more.

   Thanks for commenting.
