  All wordpress blogs have multiple built-in feeds. All support docs are at https://support.wordpress.com/ Type Feeds into the searchbox and click to search https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=feeds
  Results https://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/

  Your RSS Feed URL for your .wordpress.COM published blog posts is

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/feed/

  *Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.

  Thanks for your reply. I’m still having trouble. I want to create multiple RSS feeds on my blog which display a good preview of the article and the ability to expand the article to see the whole thing. I was able to make a little bit pf progress but all the shows up on the feed is text in addition to code. Could you help me with this? Thank you!

  Hi there,

  As @timethief said, the feeds for your site are built in, so there is nothing for you to set up. The feeds are all already there. The support doc linked to above shows you all the available feeds.

  RSS feeds can only be read by an RSS reader, or you can view the feed in some browsers like Firefox. You cannot edit a feed directly, and you cannot create other feeds than those that already exist.

  You can’t show an RSS feed from your own site on your site. There’s no reason to do that. If you want to show a feed for a particular category, you can use the category archive link to do that (mysite.wordpress.com/category/category-name). Same with tag feeds, author feeds, etc.

  Category Pages

  Whether it will show the full article or just an except depends on whether your theme supports automatic excerpts, whether you’re using the more-tag in your posts, etc.
