If you have the starter on the counter, you might need to feed it 2x daily (say after breakfast, after dinner).
If it is in the fridge, every 3-4 days would be fine.
In the freezer, it can last several months. Bring it to room temperature and use as normal.
Before feeding, take out the starter you want to use in your bread, waffles, or whatever culinary marvel you are working on, or discard it. If you don't want to discard your starter, freeze it.
Feed the remaining starter equal amounts of flour and water.
so...
to 1 cup of Starter, add 1 c. flour, 2/3-1 c. water
If you want a more "sour" sourdough, add 1/2 c. flour and 1/2 c. water to your 1 c. starter. If you want to use some other grains, use rye or whole wheat for up to 1/2 of your flour amount.
