Add an image to RSS feed subscription text link

When you set up a feed subscription on your blog using FeedBurner, they will generate for you a set of HTML codes, which you will copy and paste them onto your text widget. Your blog should then display the following text link which will enable your visitors to subscribe to your feed by clicking on the link.

The above text link is represented by the following FeedBurner HTML codes:

<a href=”http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit? feedId= 2482285& loc=en_US”>Subscribe to my RSS feed by Email</a>

You would have noticed that the above text link does not look professional. You may want to decorate the text link by adding an image before the link as show below.

Below are the steps to add an image to your text link:

Step 1: Download a small image of your choice onto your desktop or save into a folder.

Step 2: Create a new post and upload your mage by clicking on the Add media icon. A set of HTML codes will be generated by Wordpress when you have successfully inserted the image onto your post. The HTML codes would look something like this:

<img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-189″ title=”email2″ src=”http://xwordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/email2.jpeg” alt=”" width=”40″ height=”44″ />

Step 3: Copy your above image codes (in your post) onto your FeedBurner codes (on your text widget) as follows

<a href=”http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit? feedId=2482285& loc=en_US”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-189″ title=”email2″ src=”http://xwordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/ email2.jpeg” alt=”" width=”40″ height=”44″ />Subscribe to my RSS feed by Email</a>

Save the changes. When you refresh your browser, your image would appear on the left side of the text link.
