Please note that this tutorial required GD Library to be intalled on your web server. Please consult your web host.

I am writing this tutorial just for fun though I dont appreciate these kinds of things. But for those who have relatively low number of subscribers (like I have right now on this , only 4 subscribers) this is a good technique to help you get some subscribers.

Create a new file with any name, In this tutorial I have used feedcounter.php then add the following code to the file and save it.

<?php
//Send a generated image to the browser
create_image();
exit();
function create_image(){
//Create the image resource
$image = imagecreatefromgif('feedcount-static.gif');
//We are making brown color
$brown = ImageColorAllocate($image, 68, 68, 68);
//Check for the get parameters
if (isset($_GET['count']) && is_numeric($_GET['count']))
$feedcount = $_GET['count'];
else
$feedcount = 21;

// Some Alignment Calculations
$bbox = imagettfbbox(7.5, 0,'verdana.ttf', $feedcount);
$xcorr = 0 + $bbox[2];    $xcorr = 36 - $xcorr;
//Add the number in brown color to the image
imagettftext($image,7.5,0,$xcorr,13,$brown,'verdana.ttf',$feedcount);
//Tell the browser what kind of file is come in
header("Content-Type: image/gif");
imagegif($image);
//Free up resources
ImageDestroy($image);}?>

Upload the verdana.ttf font file in the same directory where our php file is. Then open the URL of the php file. use ?count=[number] parameter to put any number of reader. Save the image and use it for your blog.

Incase you dont have GD Library installed on your web server you can use the one I have created. Just change the number and get the image that you want here
