Ha! Dug and found: Weblogs > Configure > Feeds

Had feeds active for posts but not for comments . Now let's check how this helps conversation.

Under “Subscribe”, top left, there's a “comments RSS” link. Let me know if you notice anything a-wry with it—I changed it when I started using Disqus and don't have a lot of feedback on how it works yet, other than my own experimentation. ^_

I hear tell that there's a way to enable an all-comments RSS feed with TypePad, but it sounded hacky (and since I'm not very familiar with TypePad, I couldn't tell how easy it might be to implement). I didn't find anything that suggested there was a way to hit a checkbox and have follow-up comments emailed to you. (That's one of the reasons I like Disqus—it takes care of that.)

Good and valid point. Should be default.

My vanilla (paid) typepad blog has no comment feed, but Anne McCrossan's has. Scroll all the way down. I tested it with an older post of hers and my news feeder shows all comments.

Now, Megan, how do I follow comments on your blog?
