It is also possible to produce this sort of thing by hand,and I know at least a couple instances of that. The icon that appears on the navigation bar of your browser is put there if a feed is correctly linked to your page. Put a valid feed link in the header as I described in this post, and that icon will appear when the page is loaded. If it doesn't appear, there is no valid feed link. That also means that browser based feed readers will have trouble finding the feed. If you're talking about the icons people put on their page, then that's either put there manually by someone, or by using supplied code from some sort of service, like FeedBurner.

Are the feeds to a regular Website written in the same way as one of these feeds or another way? And how about the little sign that shows you have RSS feeds? How do you get that on your website? Hi HDW!

I have been wanting to ask you about RSS feeds for a while now.

Are the feeds to a regular Website written in the same way as one of these feeds or another way? And how about the little sign that shows you have RSS feeds? How do you get that on your website?
