I want to start a feed on my page. On the website I go to, there is an option for both javascript and rss, and I have no idea what the difference is?

JavaScript and RSS are two very different things. The former is a scripting language that adds interactivity to web pages, while the latter is a web feed format that helps people stay up-to-date with information on sites.
What you’re looking for (for your site) is RSS.
Apples and oranges. javascript is used on webpages. RSS is just a feed source. You can use a javascript thing to display things on your websites.
Good luck and Happy Computing
