Very good questions indeed. Hopefully, the language translation feature we setup for the blog will work for non-English speaking readers(hopefully);).

The non-English wording on the button says “subscribe”, not RSS. We are hoping people all over the world will feel pity for us and…well… subscribe .

I wish you well in the BOTB – I even clicked your dinky little RSS button and grabbed your feed .

Just a crazy “out there” thought, dude , but pray tell, what benefit is a multi-lingual subscribe button if I only speak English? And if I don’t speak English, why would I be subscribing to your English-language blog!!

Now if I am into big buttons then it is a great idea, and if I have an urge to learn the term “RSS” in 6 languages, great too (le RSS, el RSS,
??? etc etc?) but otherwise, I don’t get it.

Good luck in the battle of the blogs. I am The Pisstaker. Watch out

Yes, we have been assimilated and I feel it will be a growing community too as the Internet is FULL of useless stuff .

I just hope the language translator we used is accurate. For all I know, we are saying bad words (gulp).

Welcome to the ridiculously useless RSS icon family! Of course, you’re is ridiculous in six languages so you’ve got us on that one!

I feel that your RSS button is more of a brute (“Subscribe or I will pummel you”). I think you may be on to something because I think that approach will work with some of the more timid readers .

We should track the subscriber numbers and see which approach is better!

now, my “dang big subscribe button” is loud … yours is fluent in 6 differnet languages – plus email subscribe is no doubt turned on in your feedburner account.

possibly, oh possibly, some other bloggers will enter the fray (that means… forget it).
