ReplyDeleteI was wondering if there was a way to be notified when someone comments on a blog post you wrote?
Yes, there is. Go to the "comments" tab in the dashboard, and at the bottom you will find a box where you can enter email addresses so that any comments are sent to you. You can enter up to ten addresses in the box. These will not be comments on just your post, but on the entire blog.

One more thing. You can find the RSS feed for any single blog post at the bottom of that individual post page. You can use this URL in google reader to follow comments on one single post.
