Chicklet Creator Plugin

To have feed reader buttons generated for you as shown in Figure 16-10, install and configure the Chicklet

Creator plugin.

1.

Download the plugin from

http://www.twistermc.com/shake/wordpress-chicklet.php

,

and unpack the archive into a new folder named

Chicklet-Creator

. Then copy (or move) this

folder to your

blog/wp-content/plugins

folder.

2.

Go to the Plugins section of your blog admin page, and activate the Chicklet Creator plugin.

3.

In the same page, click the Config Instructions link to configure the plugin (you can also reach

the configuration page by going to Options

?

Chicklet Creator). We recommend turning

on the XML chicklet if not already prominently advertised, as well as Google, My Yahoo!, and

Bloglines. The icon selection page looks like that shown in Figure 16-9; after making your selec-

tion, don’t forget to click the Update Feed Buttons button.

4.

Finally, update your pages by adding the following piece of code where you want your new

buttons to show up:

<?php if (function_exists(‘chicklet_creator’)) { chicklet_creator(); } ?>

For example, I’m adding this line to my

blog/wp-content/themes/Default/sidebar.php

file. You can see the result using the default plugin options in Figure 16-10. You can use the

plugin configuration page to fine-tune the icons and their layout.
