A chicklet, also known as a feed subscription button, is a specially coded button that contains the blog's RSS or Atom feed information. Clicking on a chicklet makes it easy for readers and visitors to subscribe to the blog's feed.

If you use Feedburner to improve your blog's feed, you can easily obtain chicklets to promote your blog's feed. If you don't use Feedburner, you can also use chicklet generators to obtain chicklets.

I've added some subscription buttons to the sidebar that I created using a Chicklet Creator. It took all of 5 minutes. You can choose your blog platform and they write the code so that it pulls the blog name, url and feed url automatically. You can choose from a list of 30 feed readers to include on your site.

The chicklet creater can also create special bookmark links. Once the code is generated, simply cut and paste the code into your weblog template.
