Done, David T. I added them above recent comments. Don’t know how to get the little orange cube to appear next to it, though.

brent,

it’s not a plugin, it is just another feed. It can be found at http://hburgnews.com/comments/feed/

the normal (posting) feed is at http://hburgnews.com/feed/

It is fairly standard practice to put these links somewhere on the page, like the footer, in case someone isn’t using a browser like firefox that finds them for you.

I’ve found that “recent comments” keeps discussions going longer. The main post will drop off of the front page and folks’ll still keep hitting it through recent commens. Sometimes posts a few months old will get a comment and spur a whole ‘nother round of commenting.

Like I said, I don’t know. I’ll email you guys and try to figure this out.

While were on the topic, what sort of features would you like to see (assuming I can figure out how to use this)? Flickr badge? Weather? Newest comments?
