  I want to be able to give an RSS facility to my blog http://www.rishiaggarwaal.wordpress.com. I am using the Contempt theme and the widgets section allows me the RSS option but only to subscribe to other peoples blogs. I want to give a facility to others to be able to subscribe to entries on my blog. How does it go about? Maybe its simple but then the help section needs to be made helpful!!

  There are no “w’s” in your URL: it is http://rishiaggarwaal.wordpress.com./

  You can use an RSS widget and just add your own feed instead of someone else’s: http://rishiaggarwaal.wordpress.com./feed

  OR you can add a text widget with the RSS icon etc as per instructions in the FAQ here:

  Put your feed in your sidebar

  I don’t think there’s a . after com:

  http://rishiaggarwall.wordpress.com/feed

  raincoaster probably made a typo :)

  You’re right. I shouldn’t answer forum questions after rendezvousing with my buddy Jack Daniels!

  The FAQ says you can’t use an RSS widget for your own feed. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/12/24/using-the-rss-widget/

  You cannot put your the feed address from your own blog into one of your RSS widgets.

  I think this is why some folks are having trouble with their feeds in their sidebars. The best answer is in the other FAQ http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/23/put-your-feed-in-your-sidebar/
