It's an RSS feed for your last 20 or so Articles. Not all the rss feeds have been generated yet though,

If you post a new article it will take up to an hour for the rss feed to regenerate itself.

Same thing I noticed yesterday night. Because, I was looking for such symbol on my page at WC and JoeUser.
Actually I was building the yahoo 360 personal page for me: http://360.yahoo.com/hcp006sl.
To build the feed section a personal site was needed that contains that orange symbol at the corner and I have to mention the link that I shall get from that symbol, i.e., hold the mouse on that symbol your browser will show you a link associated with that symbol. This link was needed for that feed section.
Thus I discovered the symbol. 'RSS' symbol also appears on http://hcp.joeuser.com/. But, it doesn't works. If you click on it, it shows 'The page that you have requested cannot be found'.
So, this is the story of that symbol.

I noticed that XML button, and RSS buttons on many sites. Can anyone recommend a small & easy-to-use reader that will take both?

RSS Reader, It's Freeware and does a good job. Link It will sit in your System Tray and check the news feeds on any schedule you wish and notify (wav file) when you have new additions. You can include many-many feeds.
Opera has a pretty good reader built in. Link It will check all feeds whenever you run the program and whenever you ask.

Thanks Lantec, I'll have a look at RSS Reader. I also found this product, which I've downloaded the newest beta...looks nice and is skinnable too. Klipfolio

The link should be Link
and not Link.

Sorry, for the mistake.
