Ferox: I didn't mean that the RSS button on your blog was not nice, I hope I didn't give you that impression!
What I meant was having the orange-coloured standard RSS button plastered on the top portion of your blog would encourage more people to subscribe, that's all.
And if you're looking for some RSS buttons, here are some sites where you can download and use them for FREE (I use some of these too):
(1)
Free Glass Style RSS/Feed Icons | BittBox
(2)
Feed Icons - Home of the Standard Web Feed Icon
Have fun!
