RSS feeds and wordpress?

I’m working on my first wordpresss website and I’ve really never worked with RSS feeds. However my friend that I’m doing a website for wants it in there. so I guess I’m in a crash course learning session with google to learn all I can about RSS feeds.

I’m hoping to have an email field that I can style like the way I have designed it here.

Or even something like the way this website has it done

Are there any good plugins and articles to read up for a beginner wordpress theme developer to learn this RSS feed information?

  1. As you develop WP theme, I would mention that you need to enable automatic-feed-links by adding following function call to your functions.php file:

    add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );

    After it RSS links fill be added automatically to head of your site. The best practice is to add this call in function for after_setup_theme hook handling:

    function my_theme_setup() {
    add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_theme_setup' );
