Yes, exactly.
I keep seeing "signs" saying RSS Feed - put this on your website. How?
Or can I just paste the code it gives me directly into my page, per chance?

RSS is a specific "standard" for how to write certain XML documents, for the specific purpose of them being displayed on other websites or through RSS readers.
There is lots that can be explained about RSS and how the standards work etc, but that isn't what you asked. You want to know how to make the feeds show up on your page. This is easy, you just have to find a PHP/Perl/CGI/ASP/etc script that can read the RSS, and process it into a manner that you want it to appear.
Should be able to find at least 1 you like on http://www.sourceforge.net just look around a bit, they are pretty ubiquitous

When I was experimenting with displaying an RSS feed from my employers site, I didn't feel like going through all the trouble of installing aggrigator scripts. I found three good sites that will parse the RSS code for you and give you the custom output with just a simple cut and paste code. Check out these three links:

http://www.bigbold.com/rssdigest/index.html

This is a good way to get an RSS feed on your website with very little effort. However if you get Google-like traffic you may not want to rely on a 3rd party to parse for you. Hope that helps.
Nip it in the bud!
