I found a great script that I thought might help those that are looking to embed RSS feeds on their website. I understand that Blogger and Wordpress have built in plugins with some great functionality, however for those that are using their own custom template, finding this functionality can be quite an ordeal.

I'm still treating each of my pages on my site as separate blogs largely because I wanted an RSS feed off each page. Now that I know I can get RSS feeds off labels, thanks to this wonderful post - Consuming Experience, RSS Feed FAQ I can essentially pull my whole site back into one blog.

So using the site above you should be able to work out your RSS feed without too much trouble. You can get any number of different feeds including comments. Once you have this information you are probably wanting to embed it in your right hand side navigation.

So I found this website which makes it simple:
http://commons.ucalgary.ca/feed2js/build.php

Best thing about the site is that it's free! If you have a look at my right hand navigation you see an example. If you are familiar with CSS styles you can style them till your hearts content.

Hope this helps!
