From your dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Marketing Settings” » “Subscription Icons”

Your RSS Subscription icons will be displayed in the sidebar of your blog site where you have placed the RSS 1 Widget. These icons allow visitors to subscribe to your blog through an RSS reader service.

What is RSS?

RSS stands for “Real Simple Syndication.” In basic terms, your RSS Feed is a back-end function that sends your content to your users or various RSS Directories or services.

RSS Subscription Icons

This section allows you to set up various channels for your visitors to subscribe to your content through RSS rather than email.

Display using: select how you want these icons to show on your site.
“Icon on each line” and “No line breaks” generally create the same listing look. “HTML List” creates the icons into a bulleted list.

Put in Meta Section: Would you like your subscription icons to display in the Meta Data Widget of your sidebar?  As we recommend you don’t use this widget, we also recommend you don’t select this option.

Display icons for: Select the icons you’d like to display. The default setting has all icons selected. This is completely up to you if you’d like to leave it this way or not. While RSS is not a widely used form of receiving news and updates, it is growing in popularity. Some niches use these more than others. At a bare minimum we recommend providing at least a few of the RSS Subscription buttons for your readers.
