Orange Feed Buttons Are So Out

Posted in Podcasting, Podcasting Trends, Podcasting Tips & Tricks | Monday, February 26th, 2007 | Trackback

By way of Jason Van Orden’s podcast, I was reminded about the different coloured feed buttons that are now available.

Most of us are familiar with the orange feed button as you see to the left. And some of us will tell others to look for that button if they want to subscribe to a feed.

Well, I have to burst your bubble as the feed button is now available in several select colours. I saw a blue one on this site. You can grab the entire package of lollipop colours from this site.

So, if you’re telling your client, colleague or friend to look for the orange button, you’ll have to change your tune. It can now be pink, blue or green.

    So what you’re saying then is that green is the new orange? Dang. I need a new wardrobe.

    I think using multicolored buttons is not a good move. For RSS to continue to spread, it helps if there’s some kind of standard. The color orange is a big part of that. I know that when I trained a client recently on searching for an RSS feed on a blog or other website, I taught her to scan for orange.

    Here is the site I found my feed buttons. They also have lots of other goodies.
