RSS buttons are an easy way to let your readers add your blog to Netvibes, iGoogle, Yahoo, Wikio or any other online RSS reader.
Many of those services even have created tools for creating those RSS buttons within a few seconds. All you will have to do is paste the generated html code where you want on your blog.
Here are links to some of those RSS button tools:
Netvibes button tool
iGoogle button tool
My Yahoo button tool
Pageflakes button tool
Webwag button tool
Wikio.com button tool
RSS button maker
The last one comes from the TopRank Online Marketing Blog and might be one of the best RSS button tools, since it gives you the possibility of creating several buttons with one single operation. You can even chose if you want to get simple html code, a dropdown menu or blog specific code.
Important notice:
You need to know the exact URL of your RSS feed for all of those tools except for the Netvibes tool. Netvibes will normally identify your feed or make several propositions (at least one of them should work).
If you use Feedburner, you might not be able to use some of these tools. This applies apparently for the Wikio tool.
If you are unable to identify your feed, you might want to check out the FAQ pages concerning your blog. Some blogs might not have any RSS capabilities, so none of these tools will work.

Hi, I came across your blog today and saw your article on adding RSS buttons to a blog. I noticed that you have RSS feed shortcuts on your page, but that the Pageflakes button is not one of them. I wanted to invite you to try out Pageflakes and if you are interested, add our button to your list. I have provided a link to our RSS button setup: http://www.pageflakes.com/Pages/webmaster.aspx. If you were to add us, that would be great.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding Pageflakes, please let me know.
Thanks for your support!
P.S. Ich habe mich auch etwas mit Deinem Blog auf Deutsch "Wieder Deutsch" beschäftigt und dachte Du könntest möglicherweise den Knopf auch dort hinzufügen. Es wäre nett! Leider kann ich kein Französisch, sonst hätte ich mir Deine Artikel auch dort angesehen. Dankeschön!
Hi stephanie, thanks a lot for checking out my english and german blog.
It was a pleasure for me to add a link to the Pageflakes RSS button tool in my article.
Hi! Thanks for adding the button! If you ever need any support from Pageflakes, don't hesitate to contact me :-) Take care!
Hi Damospace,
My name is Elvine from Pageflakes and I just wanted to touch base with you since Stephanie inquired about the RSS subscription button.
I would be interested in helping publish your Blog within our directory and to publish a cost-free branded page for you (Pagecast).
Also below is the hyperlink for the correct Pageflake RSS button:
