New RSS icon
Related entries in Blog software & toolsSo, I decided to sort of conform to the new RSS button - the new "icon standard" for representing RSS.
I actually really agree with the shape and use of the icon. I think visually it captures far more than text and its size is far more appropriate. I was never a big fan of buttons that said "RSS" since it is a passing term and visually not so attractive or easy to use.
Well, like I said, I only sort of conform to the standard now. I have the button on Blogaholics, but I’m not so fond of the Orange on my particular design. I prefer blue, so blue it is.

What do you think? Blue is just so much less geeky. Feel free to use it if you want.
I will put it up on Blogging Help soon. Sometimes editing this blog annoys me because I SO want to change the design. Even pretty much know what I want it to look like. But, with many jobs on the go, a wedding and Ianiv working insane hours, we just don’t have the time to do it ourselves. I’m tempted to hire out for it, but it seems like such a waste. Anyway, little side rant ;)

I wasn’t a huge fan of the new RSS symbol - I kinda preferred the old XML button.
But I do like your blue one much better than the orange one :)

Thanks for all of this information. I’m fairly new to blogging and I want to use my blog to promote my self-published book of poetry. I’m using your tips to start driving traffic to my blog. Thanks again!
