Google Reader: Make the Bookmarklet Use The Reader Icon
When you save the Google Reader bookmark let to your bookmark bar, it doesn't by default have an icon, because the source url is javascript. This recipe shows you the quick and easy workaround.
The default Google Reader subscribe bookmark let is really ugly - just take a look:
We'll make our own bookmark let with a couple easy steps:
1) Save a bookmark to the Google Reader homepage

3) Click the bookmark once to make Firefox load the icon.
4) You can edit the bookmark s by right clicking the bookmark and selecting Properties.
5) Paste the javascript from the bookmark let Location field into the Location field in the new bookmark .

7) Delete the original bookmark let, because we've made our own now.
