    You can add a subscription button to your wordpress blog pretty easily. Most of the time the proper implementation depends on your theme.

    Do you have a link to your site? Where do you want the button?

    Ok. Your feed subscription link is this:
    http://anythingblack.wordpress.com/feed/

    All you need to do is create an HTML link to that. It would be something like this:

    
<a href="http://anythingblack.wordpress.com/feed/"><img src="images/subscription-image.jpg" /></a>
    Code (markup):

    You can't alter the sidebar at wordpress.com. That's just the way it is setup. Sorry. Best advice would be to get your own webhost and you can do what you please with it.

    Habitat, CSS is a presentational styling language that alters the appearance and presentation of HTML elements. The thing with WordPress.com is you can't edit the sidebar as has been previously said. You're going to have to go to www.wordpress.org (run by the same people), download a copy of WordPress (WordPress 2.5 comes out in less than 48 hours) and then import the content in your WordPress.com blog to the self-hosted version after you've gotten it installed.

    The only other thing I can think of is to use an email subscription plugin like this one:
    http://neppe.no/wordpress/wp-opt-in/

    But I'm not even sure if that would work on Wordpress.com anyway. :(
