Standard Feed Icons

As I mentioned in my podcast, Microsoft has standardized on the Firefox icon for feeds. I wondered at the time if the icon would be available to use on our sites, and now it looks like you can.

Not that I really have the time right now, but soon, you'll probably see a change to my feed links to incorporate the new icons. I wonder if they'll have an alternate icon for feeds that include enclosures, like podcasts. Right now, this site has two distinct feeds - my main feed, and a podcasting feed that includes enclosures for RossCode Weekly. I'm also thinking about a separate page for different syndication options - subscribing to individual categories, comments, automatic addition to online services like Newsgator, Bloglines, etc. I'll probably even throw up an email subscription.

Anyway, one rant about the site. It's about an?icon for feeds to syndicate site content, but they don't have a feed. They have an email newsletter, but no feed!
