RSS Buttons

I was moving some feeds to a new plugin in FireFox and had to go out and grab some from blogs I read quite often.  I was a little surprised though, when I saw that some of the blogs I read on a daily basis don’t have that great of RSS buttons.  In my experience, the RSS button was always a orange button with a little broadcast type symbol in it.  However, on some of these blogs, I noticed people using something like a grey button that says “RSS”.  I even saw some bloggers with hyperlink instead of a button.

In my opinion, using anything other than the standard button is a bad idea.  Yeah, it’s great to think outside the box, but you have to make the button visible and immediately recognizable.
