Any idea why comments from your blog appear in my NetNewsWire reader while comments from other blogs do not?

Cheers,

Good post. I like to add the occasional comment here and there. Best way to generate connections.

AideRSS has a nice add on for Google Reader that adds the comments link and at the foot of each post. It also ranks posts. This is handy if you are subscribed to sites like Read-Write Web where there are dozens of posts each day. It works in Firefox and Flock and other mozilla styled browsers I guess.

I’ll shoot you an email.

If anybody else here is interested, say the word.

Thanks again, Derrick

I found a plugin that embeds the comments to your RSS feed, though (there’s a bit of a lag-time, but it’s better than nothing). And I’ve been trying to promote it as much as possible, because I think it’s really useful.

You can see it in action on my blog’s feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/derrickkwa/suigeneris (you’ll have to scroll down a couple of posts, because my latest ones don’t have any comments).

The plugin came from http://www.i-jeriko.de/wordpress-plugin-feed-with-comments/ but the page doesn’t seem to be up anymore. At least, I can’t access the page. So if you (or any of your readers) want, you can drop me an email, and I’ll send you the php file of the plugin.

Being new to web2 and reading posts, a lot of my enjoyment and learning comes from the added information / banter I come across in the comments. Posts can be a conversation but you can’t do that in a reader.

Like Jason, I subscribe to comments but I also click out of the reader to enter the writer’s real blog where I read archives as well. So if you’re a blogger and wonder why people comment on old posts, that might be a reason.

I agree with you totally! I find so often that my posts become just a part of the larger conversation (not quite as large as yours, though!) and sometimes want to shove the comments into a new post just to show people in readers what they’re missing. I do the majority of my blog reading on actual blogs, sometimes finding the posts from twitter or Google Reader, but then traveling to the post to see what everyone ELSE said.
