Updates to the Chicklet Creator include a new Google button & code and a Simpy & Immedi.at chicklet.

The Google button no longer says ‘Reader’ as I updated the code that takes you to a page on Google that asks you if you want to add the feed to your Google Homepage or your Google Reader. Two choices for one item. Nice!

Also, Otis sent me a Simpy button to add. It’s the same as the link code that was already there, just in button mode now too.

I’ve been working on a few updates to the Chicklet Creator.

I started to add support for the pLog blogging software, but I seem to be stuck. I actually only got one variable of one button done. The code has been sent back to my pLog tester and hopefully he’ll say it works. But, for now, pLog support is in alpha mode.

MovableType support however is in beta mode! Basically I just need someone to test it and let me know that it works. I don’t have MovableType so I can’t test it. However, I’m optimistic it works fine.

I’ve added support for dynamic (?) Textpattern code in the Chicklet Creator. Granted, it’s not as universal as the Wordpress code as you always have to add in a section name, but it still seems like it should work. If you have Textpattern installed, check out the code and let me know if it works or what should be updated.

The Chicklet Creator has the ability to create code for Wordpress chicklets that pull the information directly from Wordpress. No extra coding necessary and it should automatically update if you change your blog name or URL. However, there are many more blogging platforms out there than just Wordpress. That’s where I need your help.

I’m able to work with Wordpress so well because that’s what I use. If you use a different platform, feel free to help me build buttons that will automatically work with them. It’s quite easy, all you have to do is send me the three variables that your blogging platform uses.

The Feed Subscription Button Maker has been renamed to Chicklet Creator and version 2 has just been released.

The new version not only has a few new buttons, but it has the ability for you to choose which buttons you want to add to your site. Check only those that you want and we’ll only generate that code. Not sure which buttons you want? That’s ok. We have suggested buttons that we feel are the most popular services.

I have to big updates in the works to launch next week.

The first is Feed Subscription Button Maker 2. (yet to find a better name) I’ve been working on an updated system that works better for you, is easier for me to update and has more buttons.

The second is a site design update. Someone told me my Christmas lights didn’t look good (sad), so I’m taking them down. I have a design tweak in the works that won’t change a lot, but just enough to re-energize the site design.

I have updated the Feed Subscription Button Maker with seven new chicklets. Including FeedFeedds, Kinja, Sololsub, Multirss, Rmail, RSSfwd and Blogarithm.

I’ve also added 8 social bookmarking links. The ‘bookmark this site’ links work for the base URL, not for the individual post page.

Check out the new buttons and enjoy the Feed Subscription Button Maker

I’m now looking for feedback on my Feed Button Maker. Try it out and let me know what works, what doesn’t, what needs to be added and so forth.

I know there are may more feed services out there that I don’t have buttons for. Just point me in the right direction and I’ll work on getting new buttons added.

I also have a few features up my sleeve that I haven’t had time to put together. So keep checking back.

I have created a Feed Subscription Button Maker. Currently it’s in beta while I work out some bugs and test it. However, since I’ll be out of town the week of Thanksgiving, this is just a quiet launch. I don’t want to get to much exposure on it when I’m not around to answer questions or read feedback.

You are free to check it out and see what you think. It’ll probably get better after Thanksgiving as I’ll get more time to work on it.
