    It's simple!

    1. Sign up for a feedburner account (to manage your RSS - it's the easiest way)
    2. Within the account (I believe it's under publicize), there will be a few options you can give your users. Depending on which type of subscription(s) you would like to include in your Wordpress theme, you can find all the necessary code. Let's say you want to add an email subscription to the sidebar - select "Email Subscription" from the left sidebar, 4th one down, and feedburner will give you the required code for your Wordpress page.
    3. Go back to your Wordpress admin panel and choose to edit a theme.
    4. Select the sidebar.php file to edit.
    5. Add the code taken from step 2 and insert it in the place of your choice.

    And your done! Simple as that. Hope this helps.
