Where is the "All Comments" RSS Feed?

Noah,

There is not a single RSS feed for all comments in a blog. As you mentioned, Community Server provides a RSS feed for each blog post to get the comments for that post.  You could subscribe to each one manually like you said via the URL in the comment section at the bottom of each post on the web site. But obviously that is painful.

However there is a much easier way to track comments without having to visit the web site.  In your main blog RSS feed, there is a CommentRss element every post/entry that provides the url to the comment RSS feed for that post.  It looks like this:

<wfw:commentRss>http://blogs.msdn.com/noahc/commentrss.aspx?PostID=663846</wfw:commentRss>

This is based on a mini-spec originally proposed by Chris Sells (http://wellformedweb.org/news/wfw_namespace_elements/).  Many modern Feed Readers, such as RSS Bandit, recognize the commentRss element and provide a simple way to view comments right in the feed reader.  For example some of them have a plus sign next to the post if comments are found and clicking it displays the comments from the CommentRss feed.

 HTH

The whole point is being able to aggregate comments into one view without having to go to each post to see comments.  A feed to represent the same view as the "Review Comments" CS dashboard.  Please consider it a feature request for a future version of CS.  Thanks!

Noah,

This AllCommentsRSS CSModule by Ken Robertson should fix you up if you're on your own hosted site.

This solution is so close to something I'm looking for (in fact I've installed and plan on using Ken's module, thank you Ken!)

However I have a slightly different scenario.  I have a small CS instance running for my extended family... 8 blogs plus gallereis, forums, etc.  We're looking for something that aggregates all comments from ALL blogs on the CS instance, not just 1 blog at a time.  Also this feed should be public facing, so it wouldn't need the approve/edit/delete links provided in Ken's secure RSS feed approach.

Anyone have any suggestions on this?  Maybe tweak what Ken did or a different approach?  I thought for a minute about using Ken's module to set up a 9th blog on the site with mirrored feeds coming in from the other 8 blogs, then from there we could use the RSS feed from the 9th blog to keep track of the comments being submitted on the other eight.  But that sure seems like a round-about way of going about this.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I know this is an old post, but I have the same need - a feed for all comments on all blogs.

Perhaps I'm just a CS noob, but I haven't found a way to do this.

Any ideas/suggestions?
