code with RSS feed links when I move them to the sidebar

There is some code with the links to the RSS feeds in the footer. It looks like a counter to me. I wanted to move the links to the RSS from the footer to the sidebar. I am concerned that I have messed up the code though. One reason is that the original has what looks like a counter to me with both the posts and comments. When I moved it I separated the posts and comments as list items so they would look like the other stuff in the sidebar. I’m not sure what to do with the code though. Could someone tell me what the code following it does, and if what I wrote will preserve it or if there is a problem? Thanks!

This is what was in the footer.
<br />
<a>">Entries (RSS)</a><br />
and <a>">Comments (RSS)</a>.<br />
<!-- <?php echo $wpdb->num_queries; ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds. -->

<!-- this is what I put in the sidebar. -->

<li><h2>RSS</h2>
<ul>
<li><a>">Entries</a></li>
<li><a>">Comments</a></li>
<!-- <?php echo $wpdb->num_queries; ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds. -->
</ul>
</li>
