For convenience sakes I have added the JavaScript provided to my theme, in theory eliminating the need for the browser button when posting comments on my site. Somebody want to try this out?
Rojo is far and away my favourite RSS reader, like a Del.icio.us (see my How To) for RSS, the network is growing fast and the site has just had a slick redesign. One of the features they have just added is the Feedshare feature, a dynamic link share on your blog, intended to increase your circulation of your RSS feed on sites with similar subject matters. I have added this along the sidebar and intend to blog on the success of this feature in a couple of months. (Though its safe to assume if it disappears its likely that it wont have been a raging success!)

With the majority of comments coming from bloggers is it not already now a major disadvantage for you blog not to be compatible? [...]
