  Maybe you forgot to insert the feed url in the widget?
  If you want to display an icon with a link to your feed, you’ll find a howto here: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/23/put-your-feed-in-your-sidebar/

  Well, you choose the image you like best and you use the url shown beside it, for example, for the big red icon shown on that page:
  <img src="http://faq.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/a64.png" alt="Subscribe to my feed" />
  with a link to your feed “around it”, like:
  <a href="http://bluestare.wordpress.com/feed/"><img src="http://faq.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/a64.png" alt="Subscribe to my feed" /></a>
  or
  you insert the above mentioned link http://faq.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/a64.png in the “image address” field in the advanced section of the add link of your blogroll and put the link to your feed in the field: “Address:”.
