worst interface EVAR

I have tried Blogger Dashboard, Google Reader, Google Blogger Gadget, and a number of other tools - but there is NO WAY to 1) be emailed new comments (on all entries), or 2) view/sort comments (irrespective of entry). Instead I am relegated to slogging through every entry (as Fists did last night after I told him I had commented on 'a bunch of entries'), or (after doing one complete pass through all the entries) writing down the number of comments on each entry and checking for changes every hour/day/whatever.

The problem of course is that I'm thinking of this blog like a forum, where various threads have a life of their own - when what I should really be doing is acting like the lastest blog entry is the only one in the known universe. You'd think somebody would add a 'view as forum' option that would let you sort blog entries by the most recent activity (or at least flag it as 'unread').

??? I know that if you are an admin on this blog (I can resend you the invite) you can get e-mails everytime someone comments or posts. I'm not sure what use being a "Follower" is.

I don't think this comment notification thing is working. I haven't seen any notifications.
