Most of the blog I visited are equipped with an orange square RSS feed logo at their top right of the blog. It looks something like this -

feed

Never really pay much attention to it. And don’t really understand what it is all about. Until I realize how powerful it is. As according to Wikipedia, it mean - RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that’s easier than checking them manually. Now all my favored information will come to me automatically. And I can be updated instantly once any new post is posted.

All feed logo looks the same, until I discover a new feature in Feedburner.com.

It is call ‘Headline Animator’. It actually flashes your entire post headline in the small box. I have installed it, just look at the right side of my blog.

The widget is available at www.feedburner.com.

One very good thing about this widget is it capture people attention. It can make people stay longer at your blog. So that you’ll have more times to promote your service to them.
