Spread the word, homies

[Update] The list thing works now - read on if you don't understand - Go check it out if you do - are you on it?

I've put together a cute little system to help spread the word about the charitable RSS feeds.

Here's how it works...

What to do

Copy the following HTML, and post it somewhere on your site:

<a href="http://www.neopoleon.com/blog/rssLink.aspx?url=YourAddress"><img src="http://www.neopoleon.com/blog/images/rssLogo.gif" border="0"></a>

How you benefit

Do you see the part of the URL that says "YourAddress?"

Replace "YourAddress" with the address to your blog/site/whatever. For example, if I were to create a link that would go on my page, this is what the link would look like:

<a href="http://www.neopoleon.com/blog/rssLink.aspx?url=www.neopoleon.com"><img src="http://www.neopoleon.com/blog/images/rssLogo.gif" border="0"></a>

The image that will show up in the link is the following:

If anybody clicks on the link from your site, then your web address will show up in a list that will be appearing on this page (there's no list yet because it would be empty - I'll fix that within a couple days - your hits are still being recorded).

The more hits that I get from your page, the higher your address will appear in the list.

Pretty good deal, eh? More traffic goes to the charitable feeds, and you get a free link for just copying and pasting some HTML.

One last note

I've gotten some suggestions for charities, but would like to see a wider spread from which to choose. If you want to influence this, then please send me a note with the charity you would like to see as the first benefactor of this whole thing.

Also, I recently switched the feeds from 2.0 feeds to 0.92 because of the wider adoption of the latter. There were some problems for some people with 2.0 - 0.92 ought to fix that.
