Herself’s Webtools

I’m running six blogs now and between working on them and trying to do new things it is hard to keep up with comments.

So I set up rss comment feeds for my blogs. Now I can check the rss feeds all in one spot and respond to questions and comments much quicker. Some rss tools will even notify you when there is a new item.

For Blogger blogs comment feeds are:
feed://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default/

or if you have your own domain
feed://yourdomain.com/feeds/comments/default/

For Wordpress blogs
feed://yourdomain.com/directoryOfYourBlog/comments/feed/

Find an rss reader you like, I found that GReader doesn’t always update the comments rss regularly. Safari does fine. There are several rss feed readers out there, just pick the one that works for you and put in all your blog comment feeds.

Keeping up with comments is a whole lot simpler this way.
