Hi
I am trying to create a page which shows several RSS news and sports feed.

I have already tried the widget but that is only on the sidebar. I want the entire blog to have RSS feeds about a particular topic.

Thank you in advance for your help

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

I’m sorry but that’s not possible here and not allowed. All widgets on free hosted WordPress.com blogs can only be used in widgets areas such as sidebars and footers, depending on the theme.

From types of blogs allowed and not allowed:

Automated blogs: Blogs that are generated by computers, including randomly generated blogs, blogs that re-publish press releases, marketing material, search engine results, link dumps or any other mass-produced content. http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

On that same page re: not allowed also note this as it reveals the reason why WordPress.com does not allow autoposted content from feeds into posts and pages ie. that’s the primary tool used by blog scrapers so it’s not provided here:

Scraper blogs: Blogs that take content from other blogs and re-publish it without permission (this is sometimes called scraping). If a blog contains stolen content, it’s gone!
