Wordpress & Installing The Feedburner Icon

    What is the simplest way to get the orange rss icon you see a lot on blogs installed on a wordpress blog for a feedburner subscription.

    Is there a plugin or some widget that will do this, I don't know where to install the code they gave me, I'm guessing the sidebar template but isn't there a simpler way to do it.

    Just copy and paste the feedburner code into your sidebar.php file, wherever you want the RSS image to appear. I think if you log into Feedburner, it's under chicklet, you choose what image you want to use and copy and paste.

    <div id="sidebar">
    <p id="rss"><a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" title="Subscribe to this site's feed"></a></p>

    I've got Copyblogger Theme for WordPress & here's the sidebar.php file
    where in the above code would I put my feed.

    If your theme supports widgets, don't edit the sidebar directly, just put a Text widget into the sidebar and put the Feedburner code into the Text widget.

    This helps when switching themes, since the widgets survive theme transitions.

    If I did would this break the sidebar for using widgets. I like the large
    orange rss subsribe icon & the way it looks.
