"Comments RSS" now available Sep13 '04
I’ve created a "Comments RSS" option for each entry I post. In other words, comments for each entry can now be pulled into your "feed reader," and monitored that way, instead of repeatedly visiting my site to see if any comments have been left.
In order to access the "Comments RSS" for a particular entry, simple add "rss/" to the end of the permalink, as such:
http://www.matthom.com/archive/2004/09/13/01/rss/
There will also always be a direct link in each entry, right before the comments form – at the bottom. I’m sure you’ll see it. And also on the front blog page, there is a link to it, as well.
Note: the URL example above is NOT the actual feed URL. By adding rss/ to the end of the permalink, you are only redirecting the page to the appropriate URL. For example, try grabbing the comments feed for this entry.
As a side note, I am also thinking of creating a "more visible" RSS section, which displays all options for gathering feeds from my site.
Problems with the comments feed
I am only having one problem with the script for the "Comments RSS," in that pulls out every comment for a particular entry, except for the very first. Go figure. It seems strange. I checked my SQL syntax, and things seem OK.
Hopefully I will get that minor issue resolved soon.
