Blog question

Is there a way to see all blog entries and comments ordered by date?
If somebody makes a comment in a “old” entry, how does that comment get noticed?

There’s a Firefox/Chrome plugin some players use to see which posts have been commented on (it adds “X new” to each comment link, and puts a summary at the top of the main page).

Might be good to have an RSS feed of comments, though, for people who can’t use the plugin - I’ll see if I can set that up.

Here you go. I’ve added it to the meta tags in the blog header.

Am I doing something wrong?
I am just adding it the same way I added the regular BlogNomic feed: click the rss icon, choose the feed and subscribe.

I can see the comments feed, but it’s empty.

I see comments in it, but the last one is from 07:44 EST/12:44 UTC. It’s probably the same lag as the Ascension Address feed.

Note to Google Reader Users: There’s a refresh button, and it forces the feed to update. I though it would automagically, but hey: it’s better than nothing.

Just found out why I couldn’t get the comments feed: feedvalidator ( at http://feedvalidator.org/ ) detects an error in that particular feed.

But judging by a few recent reactions, it appears the comments feed generates too much noise imperial I’m not sure it was such a great idea after all.

Heh, the rights are set to whoever made the most recent post.

I like the feed. (^_^)

Accessing the feed directly gives me an error, trying to subscribe to it with Google Reader shows me an empty feed but Google Reader showed me the comments once I suscribed and refreshed the feed.
