I have only just started my blog,and I noticed on other blogs people have the ‘subscribe button’ on their pages.How do I add this on my own blog?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,I am so sorry for being so backward when it comes to technology,but I can’t seem to find the ‘subscription widget’,when I go to the subcribe to blogs page it tells me to click on the subcription widget button which I do,but then that page tells me to click on the subscribe to blogs page,so I am still nowhere nearer.
I am missing something,is there a button I am not seeing? I am only just new to computers and I am just learning as I go along,so maybe I missed something basic?
