WordPress Plugin: Feed Count
Feed Count is a WordPress Plugin that displays the number of subscribers to your feedburner feed in plain text. The plugin allows you to customize the feed count with CSS and I am sure those who don’t like the feedburner chicklet will like this plugin.
I first wanted to use this plugin but then decided not to when it showed yesterdays feed count when tested with EasyPHP.
Update: There is an ‘Update interval’ option that will update the feed count every 60 minutes.
Feed Count Plugin Options
If you decide to use Feed Count WordPress plugin, be sure to enable Awareness API for your feedburner account (you can find it on the Publicize tab on your feedburner account).
Also check out the 51 RSS Buttons put up by Bloggers Journey.

John,
Thanks for the headsup about this plugin. Are you saying that this plugin does not update throughout the day?

Great stuff!
Is it possible to “pull” out the subscriber count value and render it in different ways?

Nice find John. I didnt like the Feedburner chicklet provided by Feedburner so this will be a good option for me.

Great tool for WP users
But too bad for me, I’m not using WP…
But it’s really stylish though..

Really a nice way to show of the RSS count. BTW the resource for the 51 RSS buttons is cool too, definitely can find one to fit any site.
Offtopic there is an ad here that says Johnchow loves you lol and keep up the good work.

No use of 60 minutes update interval as Feedburner resets the counter only after 24 hours…so its just wasting the resources to keep fetching rss count every hour.
