In Firefox (and other browsers, I assume) when you are on a site with an RSS feed, Firefox shows an orange RSS icon in the address bar like this:
I was trying to figure out how to get Firefox to show that icon for a site I’m working on at work. I am putting RSS into a page, and the RSS is working fine (I’m using ColdFusion’s cffeed tag), but the Orange icon was not showing up in Firefox. In the past I had just assumed that Firefox discovered that the site was using RSS (using keyword searches in the page, or something) and displayed the icon accordingly. But it turns out the site developer has to put a link tag in their page header, like this:Learn something new everyday! By the way, IE 7 doesn’t display an RSS icon like Firefox does (does IE 8?).
