to change the rss buttons just use bigger images or use bigger subscription box.
L’me know if you need custom images and subscriptions box example.

This might sound funny, but where is your big RSS button? I don’t see any on the page. I only see one in the address bar.

Regarding the image issue with ads i just say “Images can be used together with the ads unless and untill they aren’t confusing the visitors”
have a look on the adsense image policy

Yeah, its better not to compromise with images as google hardly gave second chance for the adsense.
Thanks to your question that after researching, i decided to lay off “adsense beautifier” from my site.

@Euphoria
I checked your way and type of image placements in the adsense.Its completely following the rules(as its shows sessionmagazine icon besides the ads rather than ads related images).
Test this ads for a week and then decide yourself what to do next.Moreover have you tried to change the fonts in your adsense ads(together with your blog default font family)?
March 5th, 2009 at 3:17 am
I saw that option few days go. I will mix it to be more similar. This is not my main blog, so I am testing some new ways
