RSS feeds can be notoriously difficult for your readers to understand, especially if your site caters to a non-technical audience. So if you use a button that links directly to their favorite feed reader or home page tool, you're more likely to get a reader for your feed.
Note: some of these icons require that you encode your URL. Use the second form on this page to encode your URL.
Standard RSS Button

This is the standard feed icon, and is the best one to use for all purposes. Use this icon where you don't want to have a large number of buttons on your page. Simply add the icon to your page and link it to your RSS feed URL as you would any other linked image. The drawback to this method is that if your audience is less technical, they may not know what to do when they click on it if their browser doesn't prompt them to add it to a feed reader.
