If you were reading my post from the home page, you won't find the feed. But if you click on the archive link: (blue arrow beside post title), or the time link at the bottom of the post, or the "Conversations" link. The one thing I haven't done yet is to create a link to the feed (it's setup for autodiscovery, but no explicit link yet -- perhaps I will add that now ;-) You can find the MT template here.
Ok, I have created an explicit link now. On individual archives (like this page), the XML icon to the left points to the RSS feed for the conversation for the entry.
Hey dude - pretty cool - but isn't it kind of a hassle to ask me to have to subscribe EACH time I leave a comment?
Wouldn't it be nice to have a button - that I push - ....well I guess that's XML Radio or XML Amphetadesk icons - huh? What about what Joi does? He has a premanent channel - that's ALL his feeds that get comments.
And since Joi has these like 20-30 - sometimes 50 reply post threads - it's kind of fun to watch. I get a copy of the entire thread EVERY time another comment is added.
But you can see where I'm coming from. Htow can teh end-user - the person leaving the comment 'more easily' get a copy of the thread?
Marc,
Yes, I see where you are coming from. If you use a desktop aggregator that supports autodiscovery, subscribing is pretty easy: you get a little pop-up bubble in in the lower right asking you if you want to subscribe. The "all conversations" feed is a good idea, though it might get confusing, with threads overlapping. Maybe I will give it a try...
definitely would love the see the template.
also where is the actual feed? I don't see a link to it on this page.
