How do I set a mini-icon for my RSS feed?

Scenario:
"In RSS Reader, sydication from other sites are showing a different icon than the default (eyeball image), which is what my blogs syndication and some others show. Can anyone tell me how, or where to add the code to change this icon to my own little logo?"

Solution:
All that's needed is a minor change in your feeds/rss20 skin.

Method:

  • Go to your Nucleus Admin area and click on 'Skins'. Then select the 'Main Index' skin part of your feeds/rss20 skin.
  • Find this code
    <image>
      <url><%blogsetting(url)%>/nucleus/nucleus2.gif</url>
      <title><%blogsetting(name)%></title>
    <link><%blogsetting(url)%></link>
    </image>

    and change the <%blogsetting(url)%>/nucleus/nucleus2.gif to be the URL pointing to the image you want to display.

  • Click "Update Skin" and you're done!
