my girlfriend is going to kick my ass if this takes more than 5 minutes

but I had to link to Hugh’s blog. He’s got it exactly right.

“adding an rss feed from del.icio.us/NAME/mycomments back to his blog sidebar, so his comment posts are appearing on his sidebar.” Its the same thing as what I have, except mine are more concise because the comment content only shows up on mouse rollover, and his appear directly under each link.

Scroll down - it’s on the right-hand side - under “My Comments Elsewhere”

His probably works better because people can more easily see what he actually wrote (”works better” to me means that his readers would be more likely to follow the link).

If I ever learn this stuff I would have it setup in two ways - 1) just showing the name of the blog where I commented so that it functions as a second generation blogroll. And then 2), as hugh does, by showing you the actual comments. It might be better to show the comments on a separate page of the blog - the way Boris does with his blog, photoblog, and linkblog.

I’m in trouble. I’m about 10 minutes over :-(

Update: trying this mycomments

I am totally ripping off this “My comments elsewhere” thing, right this minute.

mike I showed your post to my girlfriend, to say “see, I’m being talked about on someone else’s blog, and his girlfriend is getting pissed off too!” it didn’t work.

anyway, I posted a how-to here:

MK - I love you! When I write, the tone completely gets lost, but reading your words, it’s as if you’re right next to me.

Giv’er!

Gave’er! Done.

I don’t like the dumb spacing that the RSS-to-javascript free thingy makes. will fuss with it.

I’m going to watch for this spreading like a virus through the blogosphere…

I think it’s interesting that everyone is coming up with their own way to present mycomments.

so far there is;

one crackhead mt plug-in(mine)
two rss to jscript includes (mk +hugh)
one cron include of an html file(mtlsp)

I think the rss to jscript one is the easiest to implement by far.

ps: Hugh, in the interests of preserving my reputation as a non-adulterous, (see: http://michelle.kasprzak.ca/blog/entries/archives/00000062.htm#comments), tolerant, caring and concerned gf: I don’t get mad at mike for writing in his blog, I get mad at him for writing in his blog during the dinner hour.

mir if you can figure out how to improve the javascript output, pls let me know. I think I saw another converter yesterday, but I didn’t delish.it, and I am a techno-lunkhead so there’s nothing I can do about it.

re: blogging and infidelity, I am teetering on the brink of being accused of a torrid affair with my own blog, who I do love, yes, but we’re just friends.

Tell her once the bloom is off the rose you will return to her(the girlfriend) chastened and affectionate.

This will be a lie. But it will tide her over until she develops a weird obsessive hobby of her own. [or starts blogging too ;)]
