We had a client who want to be able to put a link to his rss feed in his sidebar. Oddly enough we didn’t find anything readily available to do that without adding code to his theme files. We decided to create a little widget to handle this functionality. It has the following features and is freely available right here:

  1. Customizable link text
  2. Customizable link color
  3. Selection of Standard Feed Icon (feedicons.com) in six different sizes
  4. Enter any feed URL

We’ve added a new widget that will dynamically construct the Feed URL for the archive that the user is looking at. This means if a user is looking at the blog home page, the feed will be the main blog feed. However if the user is looking at a specific category, the URL for the feed will be of that specific category. If the user is not visiting an archive page, the widget will not be displayed.

If you have any problems with this widget, please don’t hesitate to let us know. If you use the widget and like it, please rate it.
