RSS Feed Badge Confusing!
It confuses me a lot that the RSS badge down the bottom is for an RSS feed of some subset of wishes, depending on which page you're on, while the Commens RSS right beside it is always for all comments site-wide.
The RSS feed badge gives no indication that it's changing which RSS feed it points to, and with the comments one *not* changing.... well, I accidentally ended up subscribed to the RSS feed of only Stefan's wishes and I didn't realise why there were wishes missing from my feed for ages!

Inappropriate?Hi Ricky. I thought you might be referring to the orange/green link at the footer. But now I'm not sure. It sounds like you might be making two or three observations. Can you explain more?
I’m curious

Sorry, my wording wasn't too clear. By "RSS feed badge" I meant the orange/green links. Sorry. -
Inappropriate?Yes, the orange/green link is the one I mean. To be clearer
On the front page:
The orange RSS feed points to: http://isowish.com/site_index.rss
The green comments RSS feed points to: http://isowish.com/comments.rss
On the page for this wish: http://isowish.com/Debbie/posts/350-t...
The orange RSS feed points to: http://isowish.com/Debbie/posts.rss
The green comments RSS feed points to: http://isowish.com/comments.rss
On the granted wishes page: http://isowish.com/categories/2-Granted
The orange RSS feed points to: http://isowish.com/categories/2-Grant...
The green comments RSS feed points to: http://isowish.com/comments.rss
It confuses me that the RSS feed changes its destination with no visual cues, especially given that the comments RSS feed is always the same.
Did I make more sense this time? :)

Inappropriate?I read that as 'the orange link always points to the wish feed for the current page' and 'the green link always points to comments for the current page'.
One way of making it clearer is to offer the buttons in shades of orange and green, or in other colour pairs, or maybe by badging them differently. Their funditno will likely remain as is, so some way of distinguishing them is a good idea. How would you tell them apart if all the feed links were on one page?

I'd change the words, so instead of just "RSS" the orange badge said somehow what in pointed to. I can't think of good wording now but "RSS for Granted Wishes" and "RSS for Debbie" for example.
