I have a directory of places to find templates for your blog at this link. I got my chicklet for my rss feed from Feedburner which also provides the branded ones (Yahoo, Google et al) as well. Kbcafe also has a chicklet generator. My advice is to be involved in the internet. Put a link to your blog in your signature with a description. I get a few clicks from here with that strategy. If you have a good site people will recommend you. Also have patience. Luck is just hard work paying off. Good Luck
