Once again displeased with the way things looked on here, I decided to go on a hackfest. This time around, my syndication/verification buttons have been molded.
Since the W3C verification buttons suck big eggs, I decided I would go with a thin, sleek look. And thanks to Adam Kalsey's Button Maker tool, I could make an Antipixel-esqe banner, but still retain some sort of theme I'm going for on my blog.
Granted, I know these features won't be used very much. But it's more of a principle of vanity in making one's content ęsthetically pleasing and presentable... without the big, blocky icons.
