RSS 2.0 comment links

I read this article today that prompted me to wonder how difficult including a <comments> link in my RSS 2.0 feed would be.

This is in support of aggregators that can use these links to post comments back to a site without leaving the aggregator. Tres cool.

So I had a hack at a template, and realised it was just toooo easy.

Here is the addition to the RSS 2.0 Movable Type template. Add this code within the <item> block:

<MTEntryIfAllowComments>
  <comments>
    <$MTCGIPath$><$MTCommentScript$>?entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>
  </comments>
</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
