Colin from TheUberGeeks.net has a great article discussing and more importantly explaining what feeds are in a way that everyone can understand. This article is a great companion for my highly-acclaimed Getting Started with RSS how to. David Brunelle also has a good tutorial for displaying various RSS feeds on your site. So now that you know what feeds are, try grabbing my feed.
If you maintain a website, I would also suggest unifying the feed icon throughout your site with Matt’s famous feed icons. If you use Safari you can also get in the game by changing the bland, blue RSS icon with this piece of software.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.

I want to use it just because it is so damn pretty. We don’t have to unify the colour though, right? No reason it can’t match. You should use the blue maybe, try to coordinate.
Yeah, I am going to start using it throughout the site shortly. I think I will make a nice blue one.
You should put a little thing on here so we can know when you’re on the site. You ever consider putting up something like a Geomap?

I just downloaded the installer for safari, but it doesn’t seem to have worked. I have restarted safari 3 times and still I have the blue RSS button. Any ideas why??
Here’s an idea for you Paul – how about a WP plugin to provide the correct the RSS feed icons in WordPress?
