Feed your blogreaders more with WordPress.
I moved my blog from MoveableType to WordPress this July thanks to Dan Stone. WordPress has blown MovableType away in almost every respect, but none more so than the Comments RSS feeds. I can track every last comment for one post or all posts by subscribing to the various feeds in their logical locations. This feature greatly helps foster discussion.
Anyone who comments on multiple low-traffic blogs knows how hard it is to carry on a discussion in the comment areas. To find responses, you have to remember just how many comments there were per post the last time you visited, and all bets are off when the post falls off the front page. I can’t possibly scan the MovableType blogs of all my friends in that manner every day. They need to get Comment RSS feeds. Now.

They can be turned on easily, but I haven’t done so because I myself can’t imagine bothering to subscribe to them.

put yourself in your readers’ shoes. not all of us are grad students with oodles of time on our hands. rss feeds are easy to add and delete. go for the gold bozworth.
ps an rss feed would have told you where the first 48 posts on my blog went.
