I've created a mailing list, blog@clownsofdeath.com, to accept the comments from my blog.
Background: with Movable Type, you can receive comments posted to your own blog, but no one else receives them. Thus, if you come up with a witty retort to a comment on your site, you generally have to hope that person goes back to read it, or manually forward that comment to that person, looking like a complete moron trolling for hits.
Solution: send an email to [blog-subscribe@clownsofdeath.com] to receive *all* comments posted to my blog. Incidentally, if you want to point your blog to the same list, that would be fine. Each blog is identified with its name in each email, so there wouldn't be any confusion. Just change your email address in your MT profile (or whatever you have) to [blog@clownsofdeath.com] and that's it!
