UPDATED: This is almost pointless now as we have added the feed buttons to both the real footer and mini-footer

If you want to remove the feeds use this code in your CSS:

#feeds {
     display: none;
}

When a pro adds a custom footer, the links to the RSS and Atom feeds are also nuked. I came up with some javascript that will put them back wherever they want them to be.

First, add the following code to the Javascript section of your customizing page:

function findFeed(feedType, feedImage) {
  linkTags = document.getElementsByTagName("link");
  for (i = 0; i < linkTags.length; i++) {
    if (linkTags[i].type == feedType) {
      document.write('<a href="'+linkTags[i].href+'"><img src="http://www.smugmug.com/img/'+feedImage+'.gif" border="0"/>< /a>');
    }
  }
}

Then, in any of your HTML sections, add this code and the buttons will appear:

<script type="text/javascript">
  findFeed("application/atom+xml","atom");
  findFeed("application/rss+xml","rss");
</script>
