I had an issue that one of my readers pointed out and I searched several terms this morning trying to figure out why my text link would not work if you clicked the feedburner icon, it worked, but the text did not. 

I followed many instructions, editing the .htacess files, and the side bar files.  No such luck.  I had a RSS Widget with the data in it, and low and behold it is as simple as using a text widget with your feedburner code added.

What a bone head! I need to draw myself with a dunce cap on! And learn to read all the way to the end of the directions!
