RSS fans, rejoice. I have added an RSS feed for the comments that readers leave here. On Mandrake's request, so you can thank him for nudging me to do it (time from request email read to request fulfilled: 15 minutes. A record).
As I told him, I reckon that sometimes, the comments left by you readers can be more interesting than my posts (except the gay porn comment spam). Testament to the quality of the readers and community here, I think. So instead of the comments being hidden under a link beneath a post, you can read all of them at one go in an RSS feed.
For those of you not using RSS, you do not know what you're missing. This site also has an RSS feed for full posts (updated with new Feedburner URL).
The logos and links for RSS can be found in the left sidebar. Stylo milo, right?
My only request is that you guys set your RSS readers to check the feed at reasonable intervals. Every five minutes will only eat up my already stretched bandwidth.
Enjoy.
From ESPN's syndication FAQ:
What is a news feed?
A news feed (also known as an RSS feed) is a listing of a website's content. It is updated whenever new content is published to the site. News readers "subscribe" to news feeds, which means they download lists of stories at an interval that you specify (every 30 minutes, for example), and present them to you in your news reader. A news feed might contain a list of story headlines, a list of excerpts from the stories, or a list containing each story from the website (ESPN's news feeds contain story excerpts). All news feeds will have a link back to the website, so if you see a headline / excerpt / story you like, you can click on the link for that piece of content and will be taken to the website to read it.
