    Hi everyone.

    I recently switched to my own domain and hosting, and I'm totally new to this. I need help getting the RSS Widget up on my site, also a few of the social bookmarking site widgets.

    If anyone could help me with this Id be really appreciated.

    -Scott

    Ok sorry.

    Um.. if you look at my site

    onlinestruggle.com I have no RSS Feed Widget etc

    I want to have the icons on my homepage so that people can easily add me to their RSS Feeds, and Social Bookmarking Sites.

    IE: Digg, SU, Del.icio.us

    So basically I just need help putting those icons onto the homepage and also onto each of my posts.

    -Scott

    no,don't you know anything about html? you'll need to add a piece of html code to your template files.

    You only need to install that plugin.

    I got the social part working.

    I mean for the RSS Feed Icon though is there a plug-in to make it show up on the front page?

    It's pretty easy to do and I doubt there's a plugin for doing that.
    tell me the url of the icon you're going to use and I'll give you the code to add .

    the code is right.
    where do you want to put the icon?
    go to admin and then click Presentation-->Theme Editor
    there are several template files,if you want to add the icon to the footer,then edit the footer.php file and and so forth...
