			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="float: left;" src="http://www.blogging4novice.com/img/rss-button.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" />I always encourage everyone to <a title="Read blogs via RSS reader" href="http://www.blogging4novice.com/tips/read-blogs-via-rss-feed/">get site updates via the RSS reader</a>. As a blog reader, you can save up a lot of time and just sit down in front of your feed reader, let it grab all the latest updates of your favorite blogs/websites.  As a blogger, you can let the RSS feature send updates automatically to your subscribers, keep them up-to-date with your blog.</p>
<p>Now, how are you going to impress your reader to subscribe to your feed (RSS)? Make your RSS icon as attractive as possible, make it obvious to your readers.  Sometimes, I find not so straight forward to locate a blog&#8217;s feed.  Once, I wanted to subscribe to a blog but it really took me few minutes to look for the orange RSS icon.</p>
<p>There are plenty of RSS icons available for downloads. Here is a collection of great RSS icons that I found from the Internet.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-136 aligncenter" title="RSS Icons" src="http://www.blogging4novice.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads/2008/05/rss_by_sniffels.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="252" /></p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-146" title="cute-rss" src="http://www.blogging4novice.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cute-rss.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="268" /></p>
<p>I have no idea the original creator of these icons but they are really one of my favorites!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-147" title="cute-rss-guy" src="http://www.blogging4novice.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cute-rss-guy.png" alt="" width="139" height="134" /><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-145" title="rsscute" src="http://www.blogging4novice.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads/2008/05/rsscute.gif" alt="" width="125" height="137" /></p>
<p>If you are thinking of having an animated RSS icon with your own style, you can make your own animated gif RSS icon via <a href="http://picasion.com/" target="_blank">Picasion</a>. This is a cool online animated gif generator introduced by my friend <a href="http://joshuaun.com/cool-rss-feed-icon/" target="_blank">Joshua</a>. You can prepare your own image and create your own animated RSS icon.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-149" title="create-animated" src="http://www.blogging4novice.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads/2008/05/create-animated.jpg" alt="" width="381" height="340" /></p>
<p>You can add more than 3 pictures in sequence, you can set the size of your animation and also the speed. As easy as that. I really like the little orange guy reading the RSS newspaper. After some modifcation to it, this is my animated version:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-148" title="animated-cute-guy-rss" src="http://www.blogging4novice.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads/2008/05/animated-cute-guy-rss.gif" alt="" width="100" height="103" /></p>
<p>Now, this little orange guy is really <em><strong>reading</strong></em> the RSS newspaper. He is flipping through the pages. <img src='http://www.blogging4novice.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Feel free to save it if you like it too.</p>
<p>Get your own RSS icon and put it in your blog today. Remember, this is one of the tips to get more subscribers to your blog! Have fun.</p>
