Further info on the standard logo can be found here.
Firefox uses this logo to signify websites that have a live feed that can be updated, but I haven't as yet seen it actually on any websites.
I'm interested to know whether any food bloggers have seen it or use it? I've tried to rationalise all the subscription buttons on my blog and replacing them with this makes sense, but only if people know what it is. If however no one has a clue what it represents, I might need to keep all my old buttons on the site, until this is widely recognised.

That little logo doesn't appear on the webpage itself - it's a button in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window. You can toggle the status bar on and off in Firefox - go to View/Status bar. Hope thsi helps!
Should also have mentioned - you don't need to do anything to your page to make Firefox display this button. It will do it automatically.

Thanks, but I was aware of that. My point (which on rereading is less than clear) was that there seems to be a move to make this icon a standard for all xml and rss feeds. It will therefore takeover from the small orange XML and RSS buttons, or the 'Add to Yahoo/Rojo/Google etc' buttons that clog up so many of our blogs.
I've only seen it on Firefox, I was wondering if people had seen it in place of the other buttons, or were even using it themselves.
thanks
