== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is the difference between the 'Feedburner Feed' and 'RSS Feed' options? =

There are two differences. 

1. The 'Feedburner Feed' option displays the Feedburner icon while the 'RSS Feed' option displays the standard RSS icon (as do 'RSS Feed for Posts' and 'RSS Feed for Comments' options).

2. For 'Feedburner Feed' you only need to provide the Feedburner feed name in the widget options and the URL for the link will be automatically generated, whereas for 'RSS Feed' you need to provide the full URL. 

The general 'RSS Feed' option (or 'RSS Feed for Posts' / 'RSS Feed for Comments', as applicable) can be used for a Feedburner feed when the standard RSS icon is preferred over the Feedburner icon.

== Screenshots ==

1. Output when the '32px images' output format is selected

== Hacks ==

= Number of output items =

The widget can output upto 5 different links at the same time. However, this number can be easily increased. Just change the value of the variable `$num_items` in `subscribe-connect-follow-widget.php`, line 21 (as in version 0.5) to any number you want.
