Adding RSS feed to static homepage | WordPress.org

I created a static homepage for a website and created a “Blog” page for my posts to feed to. I would like to create three columns under the slider on the homepage, one of which will feature recent posts from the blog. Does anyone know of the best way to add an RSS feed to this static homepage?

SIDENOTE: I downloaded the plugin, FeedWordpress, but I cannot find a way to embed the blog’s RSS feed in the homepage.

Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. Create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

I did create a child theme of TwentyEleven for the site.

Do not add your own RSS feed to your own site. That will cause severe performance problems. Instead you need to create a secondary Loop that will pull & display your recent posts on the static front page:
