I'm not sure what you mean by a "feed footer" but a blog feed is a file that has info about your blog (title, last update, etc.) and people use their own feed aggregators to subscribe to your feed. So anytime you update your blog, they are notified via their feeder (also called RSS Reader or feed reader).

As Lisa mentioned, a feed is simply your posts saved to an XML file that allows others who subscribe to your feed open that file in a reader. If you use Blogger for your blog than you will have both an Atom and RSS feed -- two different feed standards.

You may also want to look at FeedBurner (www.feedburner.com) which allows you to do more with your feeds.

You're right...now i was able to add a subscribe feed to my blog. Next thing i need to do is creating a link on my blog and categorizing it. I have a new thread on the category "How Do I".

Thanks!
