I sent your post to Brian at SLJ and he is looking into fixing things. I having trouble simply posting a comment on the SLJ blogs. Thanks also for making the extra effort!

The only time it won't is when mod_rewrite is not enabled. The code “?feed=comments-rss2" will work for any WordPress powered blog on any host (even if the blogger doesn't provide a link) @Laura Yes, that will usually work.

I was hoping Blogger had a feature where you could get feeds to individual post comments but it doesn't seem to be the case. They just let you use email to track a single blog post, but can use the chicklet to track ALL comments on the blog. Well, the more I learn about Blogger the more I want to create my own website. Of course, I could be missing something but either way, you can now track comments on my blog. Thanks! I checked out coolcateacher’s blog and saw she just used a chicklet to set up the comments feed.

It would be so helpful. It's nice that I get email alerts to comment threads I've contributed to, but I miss so much without those other feeds. Not that I need that feeder to grow, but... Quick add-on to Arthus's comment: I find adding the extension "comments/feed" works on any Edublog or Word Press-powered blog...and it is easier to remember than the code he offered. Cathy–

I also use the option of some bloggers to subscribe via e-mail to responses to certain conversations. I use a WordPress plugin to activate that option. Thank you for bringing attention to this. BTW Langwitches' <a href="http://www.langwitches.org/blog/comments/feed/" rel="nofollow">Comment RSS </a>is available in the left sidebar under "META". Cathy,

But it angers me no less that SLJ forces so many additional clicks to find them- Argg. It almost makes it feel 1.0ish and not 2.0. Get with the program SLJ! @Cory Email Vicki Davis of Cool Cat Teacher--she uses blogger and with some work was able to produce a comments feed. @Chris - I've always had yours. Thanks for making it available. @Vicki - Yep you and Doug J were the ones who made me realize i was missing a lot of additional info if I didn't take the time to go back and read from the blog itself. Then I started noticing a lot of blogs in my reader didn't provide them. So I began asking the ones where I didn't see a feed to please produce it. Guess what? Many of them have. Thanks. @Arthus thanks for providing that tip to. Hopefully it will help others, or me, should relocate away from Edublogger. Wow I’m glad I made a post that resonated with s many.

If bloggers don't provide a link and are using a WordPress-powered blog (self-hosted or wordpress.com/edublogs) then you can make the link yourself simply by adding "?feed=comments-rss2" on the end of their url.

Honestly, it was a bit difficult to do! I send the information through my delicious links but probably need to write about this as well. Comment feeds are fascinating tools and I think I'll start looking for them again.The great thing about comments is that it includes EVERYONE. Thank you for bringing all of our attention to this!
