Here is a little tip I have used for my customers which has been proving very successful.

Create a little bit of code for the rss feed. I actually use feedburner with an email subscription option

<p>| &lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://yourdomain.com/images/rss.jpg&quot; width=&quot;14&quot;
height=&quot;14&quot; hspace=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot;&gt; &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://yourdomain.com/feed&quot;&gt;RSS
Feed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</p>


Then go into your theme editor and add the code above but with your info in the main and single post php files. Just do a search for ?php the_author_posts_link() ? and put it straight after the > so it will look like this.

<p>author_posts_link() ?> | &lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://yourdomain.com/images/rss.jpg&quot; width=&quot;14&quot;
height=&quot;14&quot; hspace=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot;&gt; &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://yourdomain.com/feed&quot;&gt;RSS
Feed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</p>

This will add the feed link next to all your posts and ends up looking like this in a post. Feel free to save my image but not link to it as it will break.

Our subscribe has increased dramatically doing this.
