Subscription Links widget is now available for Blogger !!!

Did you notice that Google has just published the Subscription Links widget from Blogger in Draft to Blogger ?

The new Subscription Links page element makes it easy for your readers to subscribe to your blog’s feeds. They have added one-click subscriptions to six popular feed readers included iGoogle, Google Reader, Bloglines, Netvibes, NewsGator, and My Yahoo!. Since you can now put your feed links in your sidebar instead of just at the bottom of your blog, more readers will see them and subscribe to your blog.

In addition to blog posts, your readers can subscribe to feeds of comments. The comments feed on your blog’s homepage contains all comments, while the feeds on post pages only have per-post comments.

Ok, let see them in action :)
