    Default Your advice on specific page cleanliness/simplicity

    Hello, i have set up a beta page with page tools set up on it (bookmark, email, print, etc...)
    http://www.integralbuddha.net/newsitems/21.htm

    And I am looking for advice on whether or not I should put the link to my RSS feed right alongside the rest of the tool links (inside the short wide blue box in the upper-middle of the page) or maybe put it somewhere else alltogether. I have checked out several different news media sites such as CNN.com, yahoonews.com, to see how they set their stuff up and why, and it seems out of ease-of-use certain elements in your page should be set up accordingly. I'am having doubts as to where to put my rss link and any thoughts would be much appreciated.

    Best Regards

    I think you should put it in the address bar and at the top of every news article, or what ever those posts are. :-)

    Well thats what I have set up now. Since I'am putting in a second RSS feed for topic/research postings as well, I think what I'am gonna do is put it in the sidebar once I get that 2nd one set up. I see this thrend on several sites I browse regularly and it makes the page look cleaner with the RSS links set off to the side in an easy-to-see spot as long as there are multiple feeds. Whereas if I had only one I would probably leave it as it is or move it into the little light-blue bar alongside "Download as PDF" with maybe an orange font. I posted this topic more out to give up-and-coming designers ideas in their arsenal than my own personal interest, I think that page neatness is a topic that seemingly is not touched upon as much on some of the design forums I post on as I would like to see.

    Best Regards
