Hyperlinked RSS feed icon

    I would love if this plugin could render a hyperlinked RSS feed icon based off of the Link Manager RSS Address under ‘Advanced’ when adding or editing a link. Attempting to boost awareness of RSS feeds and blogrolls with Dave Winer as it’s so frustrating for folks to rebuild their social feeds time and time again as platforms mess around, so figured now is a good time to start discussing open standards again. :- )

    Hi Hammy,

    Did not build this plugin with this in mind, so have to look into this.
    When I read the codex is see this:
    RSS Address – URI of the RSS feed associated with the Link

    Can you give me an example when to display a (RSS) feed that contains links from the link manager?

    Hello Guido!

    Thank you very much for the reply! Great question too BTW. :- )

    The existing WordPress Link Manager already has a field for RSS feed URLs, so would just need to render that in the front-end as a hyperlinked icon or text.

    Here’s a few examples I thought were really great (not affiliated with any of them):

    Ah, got it now! Guess this is not very difficult to include. I prefer the second example, without the icon (less work). Will keep you informed.

    Excellent! Thank you very much. :- )

    I also prefer the text—it’s more minimalist and tasteful, IMO. Will fit the colour scheme of any site too, so I’m definitely onboard with your decision!

    Hi,

    You’re welcome!
    I have updated plugin to version 2.9 a couple of hours ago, but over here still old version is displayed. Guess it takes some time to update all servers..
