  people have left comments on my blog saying that they got my rss feed and i have seen “rss this blog!

  Those are most likely spam comments. I get lots of them day in and day out.

  This is the RSS feed for your posts http://bestsellerteen.wordpress.com/feed/

  If you want to display the RSS links widget then see here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/rss-links-widget/

  WordPress blogs have built in feeds and you can read about them here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/

  You’re welcome. :) Also check any comments that you approved that have a blurb like “they got my rss feed and i have seen “rss this blog!” Why? Because the format of all WordPress feeds is the same whether or not we display the RSS Links widget the feeds exist, and spammers have spam bots and people hired to submit such phony baloney comments every day just to get their links on our blogs.

  This makes me reconsider using RSS. I had read on the support page that it might be an other solotion for the fact that I’d like to have more than one page : make another blog and add RSS feeds between them.
  … But if it will cause this kind of spamming, is it worth the while?
  And … sorry if this sounds stupid : what IS rss really? yes: I write a blog but I am not that familiar with this stuff. Sorry. ;-)

  @transformationelevation: As timethief indicated above through her examples, you just add /feed/ at the end of your blog’s URL.
  
  @mariaminislam: Try typing “What is RSS” or “How RSS works” in either Google or YouTube.
