Why Doesn't My RSS Feed Show Up in Safari

If you’re using Safari and wondering why the nice blue RSS icon doesn’t show up for your blog, the answer is that you have to add a <link/> tag to your header. This is the same solution as for Firefox. As an aside, I like Safari’s default action upon clicking the icon better than Firefox’s. Firefox subscribes you to its own, pretty cheesy, RSS bookmark folder where as Safari nicely popped the subscription right into NetNewsWire.

Firefox has an extension (see here:

called Livelines that will allow you to override the default action. You can subscribe to any online newreader if you know the subscribe URL. Not sure about desktop apps...
