You can do this quite easily with a text widget. Add the Text Widget from Design -> Widgets in your dashboard. Use the following code –
<a href="http://www.yourbloghere.com/feed">Subscribe to this blog!</a>If you want to use an image, it’s pretty much the same –
<a href="http://www.yourbloghere.com/feed"><img src="http://www.imageURL.jpg" /></a>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Problems with WordPress and my pageWhen you place your cursor over “Visit Site”, what is the URL it is pointing to? Compare that to where the WordPress installation is located on your server. Ensure that these are identical.

In reply to: Really trying to understand this page orginazationEach author does have their own archive page, so for instance – http://pittspolitics.com/wordpress/author/cpitts7014/ – is an author archive page; it contains only posts created by that particular author. And, as you can see, the rest of the template is maintained. You could simply link users to these author pages, if that solves the issue.
To move it out of the root directory, you will need to actually move all of your files on the server. Alternatively, you can add a redirect script to your current index.html page, which would send users to the WordPress site instantly – http://php.about.com/od/learnphp/ht/phpredirection.htm

In reply to: Having multiple blogs/RSS feeds within one siteYou don’t need to start another blog for the PR stuff, although that is certainly an option (you can then easily use its RSS feed within a widget).
Alternatively, you could place all of your PR posts within a particular category. You could then, on your home page, call a custom query, pulling up posts from that specific PR category – all in your sidebar or elsewhere.
I have done this before, and this what I used (this assumes your PR category is called ‘pr’:
<?php $pr_query = new WP_Query('category_name=pr&showposts=5'); ?> <?php while ($pr_query->have_posts()) : $pr_query->the_post(); ?> <ul> <li> <a href=" <?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a> </li> </ul> <?php endwhile; ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: RSS FeedYour blog automatically has its own RSS feed. You can then simply link it on your blog; users can then subscribe to it any way they would like.
Your feed is located at the equivalent URL for your blog: http://www.yourblog.com/feed

In reply to: Upgrade Method RecommendationYou need to keep your wp-config.php file. Forget the wp-config-sample file. When upgrading, you do not need it to even upload it.

In reply to: Upload ProblemTo which files are you referring? Were you upgrading or uploading WordPress for the first time?
Oh, and also, another addition for step 2 –
deactivate all plugins.
While I have completed an upgrade in the past without doing this, I still would recommend taking this extra step.

In reply to: Problem with WordPress 2.6Have you tried uploading the wp-admin/includes/plugin.php again?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Upgrade.php didn’t do anything.I know that you probably have, but triple check that you have uploaded every single one of the necessary files. Even run through the process again.
2. Delete all files except wp-config and the wp-content folder.
5. Not if you maintain the wp-content folder, as it contains all of your plugins and themes.
