Blogging: Keeping track of comments

I discovered a new feature that might be of use to the class. Using Google Reader or another aggregator will let you know when people add new post to blogs that you want to follow.

However, even if you subscribe to your own blog, you won't know when someone comments on what you've written. (Unless there's a feature I'm missing on Google Reader.)

So how do you know when someone has written a comment to one of your posts?
  • Go to the settings tab
  • Under settings click on "Comments"
  • At the end of the page there is a "Comment notification" feature which allows you to enter an email address so that you get an alert when a comment is posted.
You all know that I'm learning this technology right along with you. If there's an easier/better way to keep track of comments, let us know!
