Adding a comment feed
Listen to this article
I found an article detailing how to add a comment feed to a Movable Type blog. I made a few changes (as one does) and now you can subscribe to the comments on this blog as well as the main feed. So for anyone who's interested, here's the template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="<$MTPublishCharset$>"?>
<rss version="2.0"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
xmlns:admin="http://webns.net/mvcb/"
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
