Subscriber Count In Text in a PHP block
I believe you've seen websites and blogs that uses the text-based Feedburner subscriber count instead of the chicklet. I hope you are not getting the idea the these guys update their feed count manually. Instead, it can be done easily with scripts, and the reason why you want to do is – it gives you total flexibility in terms of design, styling and display.

Create a PHP block using your favorite portal and insert this code.  Make sure you replace all ID's and modify the code to suit your needs. ie, color, background, size.

Have fun ;)
