So, to celebrate the fact that I now have more comments on this site than original entries (the 1321st comment was posted on the 1320th entry yesterday — pretty amazing, given that the first comment was posted less than 3 months ago)…
Anyway, to celebrate the newfound importance of the comments and commenters on this site, I’ve taken a lead from Sam and created:
Share and enjoy.

How come so many comments have the same value for dc:date?
Because of a funny thing with MTComments, it shows the date of the entry: not the commenting date. I fixed this in my recent comments template[1] by ending the <MTCommentEntry> and then putting the date.
[I tried putting the relevant template bits here, but I didn't want to fiddle with escaping it.]
Doesn’t seem logical to me, but it works.

Is it possible to get each comment to do a trackback to the original post, so that the comments show up under the entries in SharpReader?
Comments are not trackbacks.
However, if there is a way in RSS to specify that this is a comment and that its parent post is such-and-such, I’d be happy to add that to the feed.
