Blogger comments - I apologise.
I feel pretty stupid. I only just realised that emails sent by Blogger to my account when someone comments DO include a link to the precise post they commented on. Why did I never notice? Because the link at the bottom of the email only has the name of the blog as the link text. Therefore I assumed it was a link to the main page of that blog. It is actually a link to the exact post the comment was left on. I can't believe I have been using Blogger over a year and only discovered this now. Yes, I am pretty stupid, but also shouldn't the link indicate in someway that it links to a specific post??
I have to assume that it was always a link to the specific post, and therefore must apologise to Blogger for spreading nasty rumours that comment notification emails did not specifiy which post.
I feel stupid. But I also feel very happy that I no longer have to go trawling through my blog for comments left.
This was a big issue for me and one I often moaned about to anyone who would listen. D'oh!
Now if only Blogger would implement trackbacks and the ability for visitors to subscribe to comments... :)

It wasn't always a link to the exact post, it changed about 12 months ago I think.
Well, that's a relief... it explains why when I looked into it originally it escaped me! :)

Thank god I'm not the only one! :)
