by Nathan“Add to Newshutch” buttons for your site
Here are some images and code snippets so you can put “add to Newshutch” buttons your site. Download the images to your own server or just link to the images on this page.
To create custom buttons, download this editable EPS file of our logo, or just roll your own. If you create your own buttons, we’d love to see what you come up with, so post links in the comments of this post.
Code for dark background button:
<a href="javascript:location.href='http://newshutch.com/external/add_feed?url='+encodeURIComponent('http://yoursite.com/yourfeed.rss')">
<img src=”http://www.newshutch.com/wp-content/assets/newshutch_add_dark.png” alt=”Add to Newshutch” />
</a>
Code for white background button:
<a href="javascript:location.href='http://newshutch.com/external/add_feed?url='+encodeURIComponent('http://yoursite.com/yourfeed.rss')"> <img src="http://www.newshutch.com/wp-content/assets/newshutch_add_white.png" alt="Add to Newshutch" /> </a>
(Remember to change yoursite.com/yourfeed.rss to the URL of your RSS or Atom feed.)

And why would publishers promote a service that does not allow them to track how sucsessfull there content is?
For example: Newshuch does not inform the feed sources about how many subscribers there are. And neither are they trackable from services such as FeedBurner.

Newshucth does not provide a ping interface for publishers either.

Negativity…? Not needed surely, Newshutch is brilliant! keep up the top work guys.

Aleks, Adding the subscriber count to request headers is something we’ll do eventually. Until then, if you think our buttons are an insidious plot, remember, they’re optional.
Ping APIs are overkill I think. Are we really that compulsive about instant notification of everything that’s published?

NewsHutch is real awesome and i’d wanna promote it, so i would’nt care if there were a news feed source tracker, and NH is continually evolving. Good work guys!

Your url above doesn’t allow for a feed that ends in /feed/. It throws a 404 error,

Sorry Thomas, fixed.

Thanks, I’ll add this to my Wordpress plugin which is getting updated soon.

I contacted FeedBurner, and they said they will add these buttons to their feed button chicklet generator service.

I could not resist to write this comment.
Newshutch is damn cool. I have been trying a lot of blog readers. I started with Newsgator and never switch since I found nothing compelling enough to switch. Newsgator WAS good enough. But no longer true. I am using Newshutch from today.
Few points I think Newshutch got it
Well, at least the software suits my needs.
* Easy to use. Really. I can do basic stuffs without much efforts. Unlike Newsgator. Basically what I do on day to day basic is add feeds, delete feeds, organize feeds. These tasks must be done easily. And Newshutch makes it so.
* Clean UI: easy to read fonts, neat design.
* FAST. I don’t know why Newshutch is damn fast. I don’t have to wait to read my last hot posts.
That’s all I need from a blog reader.

was quite unsatisfied with the common solutions as newsgator, bloglines etc. and feel home @ newshutch now, so many thanks for the good work
theres just one function í´d really appreciate: moving the columns and categories to a requested screen position. having 20-25 feeds listed on a laptop-resolution of 1024 x 768, scrolling down to get the final feed gets on your nerves
cheers

Björn, do you mean you want independently scrolling panes? We have that in options.
