The recent redesign has brought about a few changes. One casualty of the Dreamweaver knife is Mr. RSS, the cute little cartoon RSS icon who has been part of the Upstart Blogger furniture for a very long time.
He needs a new home. Many of you have commented that he doesn’t really fit in around here anymore, and, a little reluctantly, I have to agree.
So, it’s time to set him free. Control click him, or right click if you are running Windows, download him and put him to work on your blog. He’s a good worker and I’m confident he will play his part in boosting your RSS subscriber count.
If you download him and use him please let me know in the comments so I can take a look at him in his new surroundings.
All joking apart, having a non standard RSS icon can add a point of interest to your blog. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to draw more attention to your RSS feed download the icon and put him to work.
i’m giving him a test. check it out
I have put feedbot in with my other little friends that don’t have a place just right now. As soon as i have something appropriate he will be up earning his keep on one of my sites
I’m going to start a cooking blog soon, and with his little “feed me!” speech bubble he would be so cute on it! I don’t know if he will fit with my theme though, so I’ll see when it’s up and running.
