Change Feedburner Chicklets Count

Your feedburner feed count button has a code similar to this:

<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TntByStc"><img
width="88" style="border:0" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/TntByStc?bg=F2F2F2&amp;fg=666&amp;anim=1" height="26"/></a>

 

The first URL is your RSS Feeds link and the second one (bolded one) is the URL of of that graphics button. You just need to add this code -> &label=readers after the bolded URL. See below,

<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TntByStc"><img
width="88" style="border:0" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/TntByStc?bg=F2F2F2&amp;fg=666&amp;anim=1&label=readers" height="26"/></a>

 

Replace the word readers with anything you want. For example you can choose Fans, Followers etc as shown below,

Default: Readers

Fans:

Followers:

Choose a word that is equal to or less than 7 characters. Do not choose a long word as they will not fit in the button. Though you can edit the width but that will damage the look of the chicklet. Hope this little trick proves helpful to most of you. You are most welcomed to ask for any help if needed.
