Love the way their 104×17 button is just slightly larger than the 80×16 buttons used for the widely used WordPress subscription plugin by Semiologic. Adding the Google button to the plugin takes all of about 10 seconds but leaves Google standing out from the crowd.

humm…don’t you think that was planned by the Google folks to give their button just a smidgen of extra exposure…not so big that it doesn’t fit most blog layouts but just enough to make it, as you say, stand out from the crowd?

While at the time Google did not have a “how to” and a pretty graphic for it, this feature has been around for quite a while. On one of our sites, MultRSS (http://www.multirss.com), we have allowed people to select Google Reader for well over a month now.

Talk about believe, I can’t tell you the number of times my gf has tried talking me out of trying affiliate marketing. I’ve even decided that I’m no more going to tell her what I’m up to ;-)
