More feed options

We’ve added some additional feed options for our more advanced users. Now you can have a feed for all the comments on your blog, and even individual feeds for all the comments on each separate post. We’ve also added support for the RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 standards.

The new Dashboard makes it easier to check your blog’s activity and gives you one-click access to the most common blog management tasks.
