Adding Comments RSS to Movable Type1
Stimulated by a conversation had this morning, I decided to add Comments RSS for every entry in the blog. Luckily enough, somebody already thought about doing that, so I found a nice starting point in this article by ollieman.
Then I wanted to add support for the wfw:commentRSS tag in my main RSS, so as to allow FeedBurner and other advanced news readers to find to follow it and, for example, show the number of comments for each post.
To do that, supposed you have your entry comments RSS files stored in %y/%m/$f.xml (as the article above suggests) you simply have to go to the Index templates of your blog and modify your template to include the following:
Somewhere within the Entry block. One thing you can do at this point, if you use FeedBurner to manage your feed, is to activate the FeedFlare service and tick the "Comments Count" flare, to embed a nice comment counter for each entry in your feed.
Update: ok, I wasn't the first here either :)

The article you mentioned doesn't seem to be there anymore. Could you give me some help (or point me to some help) setting up per-entry comments rss feeds for my blog. I'm still running MT 3.2. I'm not afraid to make customizations, but my level understanding of exactly how MT works means that I usually need to see an example of what I'm trying to do which I can then tweak or adjust to my purposes. I haven't been able to find such an example for how to set up per-entry comments rss feeds for MT. Any help you could give would be appreciated.
