One RSS Button -All of Your Feeds !

Your blogs content is the vital and most important part of your Blog Site , and displaying various RSS buttons for your readers / users to subscribe to your content’s feeds can certainly overcrowd your Theme with unnecessary buttons for all of your RSS & Atom Feeds . Although most of the buttons out there are really beautiful and imaginative ( artistically ) – most users display gazillions of buttons on their site / blog [ along with the 200 ads ] , and this can truly overpower a page and make it crowded aesthetically and quite unbearable , regardless of how great the content may
be .
