<p>We had a client who want to be able to put a link to his rss feed in his sidebar. Oddly enough we didn’t find anything readily available to do that without adding code to his theme files. We decided to create a little widget to handle this functionality. It has the following features and is freely available right here:</p>
<ol>
<li>Customizable link text</li>
<li>Customizable link color</li>
<li>Selection of Standard Feed Icon (feedicons.com) in six different sizes</li>
<li>Enter any feed URL</li>
</ol>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="RSS Feed Icon Widget How-to Video" width="750" height="563" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/piDZibMb8NU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>We’ve added a new widget that will dynamically construct the Feed URL for the archive that the user is looking at. This means if a user is looking at the blog home page, the feed will be the main blog feed. However if the user is looking at a specific category, the URL for the feed will be of that specific category. If the user is not visiting an archive page, the widget will not be displayed.</p>
<p>If you have any problems with this widget, please don’t hesitate to let us know. If you use the widget and like it, please rate it.</p>
