As for putting the XML button/icon on a page, probably the simplest
way is to copy the .GIF file from another site and upload it to your
own, then look at the source code for the page to see how they've set
it up. You're welcome to use the following page of mine as a starting
point:
http://www.just-stuart.com/readers/writing_news.php
The general approach in HTML would be:
<a href="/path/to/YourFeed.rss"
type="application/rss+xml"
title="Subscribe to my news"><img
src="/path/to/xml.gif"
width="36" height="14"
border="0" alt="[RSS]"></a>
Be sure to put the copy of the graphic file directly on your own
server, rather than linking to anybody else's server. That ensures
your page loads correctly, and is respectful of their cost of
bandwidth.
The above implies that you actually have the RSS feed ready for
subscribers. If you're not that far yet, there is a lot of really
good information in the Documents section on Syndic8.com.
Hope this helps,
