I would like to introduce you all to David Brown (that guy who sits beside me at work!) and his new blog Port 1352.

 After nearly 2 years (bad David!) of not blogging, I would like to welcome back David Jones with his BleedYellow blog! David's a developer/admin and works with System i servers too - not a bad chap!

I have been thinking of this and decided to actually look into it when Phil asked me about a comments feed today. In all of the documentation, I couldn't find out what the link for the comments feeds are. The first thing I tried was modifying the Entries feed link from this:

http://bleedyellow.com/blogs/roller-ui/rendering/feed/BLOGNAME/entries/atom/

to this:

http://bleedyellow.com/blogs/roller-ui/rendering/feed/BLOGNAME/comments/atom/

and it works just fine. So the next step I did was modify my template to include the comments link beside the entries link.

In order to do this, you will need to do the following:

1. Edit My Blog
2. Preferences
3. Templates
4. Click the link to Edit the Weblog template
5. Find the following: <div class="header">
6. Between the first #if, I now have the following:
   
   #if (!$model.searchResults)
                      <a href='$url.site/roller-ui/rendering/feed/$model.weblog.handle/entries/atom/' title="$text.get('ventura.feed')" #if($utils.isIE6())onclick='showFeedTip()'#end><img src='$url.site/roller-ui/images/feed.gif' border="0" alt="Entries" title="Entries" /></a>
                                   <a href='$url.site/roller-ui/rendering/feed/$model.weblog.handle/comments/atom/' title="$text.get('ventura.feed')" #if($utils.isIE6())onclick='showFeedTip()'#end><img src='$url.site/roller-ui/images/feed.gif' border="0" alt="Comments" title="Comments" /></a>
                      #else
7. Save the template

Now I just need to get some comments! :)
