To save space, I want to be able to put the RSS feed as a page on my website. I’m also wondering if using the page instead of the RSS Comment and Post Widget will be any different. Really, what’s the difference between them?
Thanks!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m sorry but it’s not possible to use widgets anywhere except in sidebars on wordpress.com blogs.

Then how do other people do it?

People sometimes have creative ways of working around WordPress.COM restrictions, but without a link to an actual WordPress.COM blog that has an RSS feed inside a page, I can’t make any suggestions.

Like this blog, for instance: http://tomchatter.wordpress.com/

Plus, my theme should come with the RSS feed as a page…since it’s in the theme showcase itself: http://buenodemo.wordpress.com/

Perhaps we misunderstood your question initially… If you want to add an RSS Feed on Bueno, go to Appearance > Themes > Theme options and put a checkmark next to “Show a link to your RSS feed in the nav menu”. Then click on Save changes.

This being said, tomchatter.wordpress.com uses the Inuit Types theme which, like several themes, also comes with an RSS feed link on the top right by default.

Woops… “If you want to add an RSS Feed link* on Bueno”
(Your blog, like all WP.com blogs, already has an RSS Feed)

oooh, yeah, that’s what I want.
THANKS SO MUCH! :)

Also, is the RSS Feed link everything (includes posts and comments), while the Post and Comment RSS Feed separate them?

@killerdays
As airodyssey has said all wordpress blogs are equiped with feeds. This is the URL for the RSS feed to your posts (entries)
http://projectwolf.wordpress.com/feed/
This is the URL for the RSS feed for comments made on your blog
http://projectwolf.wordpress.com/comments/feed/

Click them and prove to yourself they are working. If you wish you can set up blog subscriptions. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscriptions/ and here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/blog-subscription-widget/

To add to what timethief said, here’s more info about feeds in general. It contains the same links timethief gave for your feeds, plus a few more:
