How to Place a Feed Icon to My Wordpress Website

Adding an RSS Icon to your WordPress Website
1. Download the RSS plugin of your choice from the WordPress Plugin Directory; this will download in a zip file. Several popular RSS plugins are available under Resources.
2. Remove the plugin folder from the zip file by opening the file and extracting the folder to your computer. For instance, if you're using the Subscription Options plugin, the folder will be called 'subscription-options.'

3. Move the plugin folder to the wp-content > plugins folder on your web space.
4. Once the folder is copied to your web space, go to your WordPress dashboard and click 'Plugins' on the left sidebar menu.
5. Activate your plugin by clicking the 'Activate' link below the plugin name and description.
6. Add the plugin to your sidebar by going to 'Appearance' then 'Widgets' on the left sidebar menu. Click and drag your chosen plugin from the Available Widgets box to the Sidebar representation on the right of the screen.
7. Edit your RSS plugin options. This may be done from the widgets page or from the settings menu on the left side of the screen, depending on what plugin you use. Check your plugin's documentation if you're unsure.
Adding an RSS Icon to your WordPress-Hosted Blog
8. Go to your blog's dashboard. You can do this by going to http://yourblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin.
9. Collapse the Appearance section and select 'Widgets.'
10. Locate the 'RSS Links' widget under 'Available Widgets.' Click and drag it over to the desired spot on your sidebar, depicted on the right side of the page.
11. Collapse the RSS Links widget once you have it placed, if it is not already collapsed. Select the feeds you want to display under 'Feed(s) to Display.'
12. Under 'Format' select the option 'Image Link' or 'Text Image Links.' Either of these will display the RSS icon, either alone or with a title.
13. Under 'Image Settings' select the size and color of your RSS image.
14. Click 'Save' in the lower right corner of the 'RSS Links' widget options.
