Easton – y’know, I’m not entirely sure about MT. I’ve only ever used TypePad from 6apart, although I’m fairly certain that plugins like this exist.

I’ll have a dig around.

How would you get Movable Type to offer such an option? Do you know of any plugins for this? I would love to be able to offer the option to a commenter – well, really any visitor – to subscribe to the separate RSS feed for that particular post.

I think it’s a good idea. I use it on other blogs (like yours) all the time.

I have a wordpress.com blog (on purpose). I only have the options they allow. None of those bells and whistles you’re talking about…

When they add it (and I’m sure they will) I’ll add it on.

Oh, and go back over to the comments on my blog. That is where the action is.

I’d like to have email notifications for comments. When I originally started Copyblogger, I figured I’d have an all RSS crowd. Turns out my largest percentage of subscribers are via email!

I’ll get that bum of a designer on this soon! :)
