I love working on smaller development projects like the PayPerPost Blog and the Blogger's Choice Awards, partly because of the instant gratification of enhancements that roll out quickly. (I get to sneak a lot by QA… Shhhh, don't tell anyone).
A few days ago I quietly rolled out a comments RSS feed for each of the four PayPerPost blogs. This is a feature for the more neurotic among us (::cough:: Ted ::cough::) so that we can always know what conversations are happening on the PPP blogs. You can subscribe to the comments feeds from any of the individual post pages. Just look for the RSS link next to the comments header. The RSS link on an individual blog entry page will take you to the comments feed for its parent blog. Pretty cool eh?
Also, in response to a comment left on Dan's post this morning, I managed to get the number of comments for a post to show on the blog portal page. It's a small detail, but completely annoying when it's not there.
Keep the great feedback coming!
The PayPerPost blog is at home with its new host and blogging platform, TypePad. We are really excited to take advantage of comments, trackbacks, MovableType, and a host of other features TypePad has to offer. Remember we've split the main PayPerPost blog into four separate blogs — Advertiser, Community, Postie, and Development.
Your RSS feeds (RSS 2.0 and Atom) should still work for all blog posts (I worked with our Super Sysadmin Guru Ninja Mark to make that happen). All four blog feeds are combined into one using FeedBlendr (those guys are cool). You can also grab the individual blog feeds, if that suits your fancy.
Hope you like the new digs!

I am pleased to announce that we will be moving our blog to TypePad on Monday. We will be splitting this blog into five blogs: Posties, Advertisers, Developers, Community and a summary that includes everything wrapped into one. I am really looking forward to all of the features that Typepad has to offer, most specifically trackbacks and categories.
Some of you may or may not know that when we launched PPP Direct we also launched a special PPP Direct TypePad widget that makes it really easy to install our code. The team over at Six Apart has been great to work with. They are very understanding of Blogger desires and are open to new ideas.
