I don't think I'm the only person who finds it difficult to remember what blog posts they've commented on and fails to check back on the conversation, many blog applications let you subscribe to a feed of the comments, but not blogger.
I've written a proxy that will turn blog comment pages into RSS and created a Greasemonkey script to make it easy to use. For information on Greasemonkey and to install it go to the official site.
It supports automatic subscriptions with Bloglines, My Yahoo!, Newsgator, My MSN and Google Reader as well as a link to the raw feed that you can copy into any aggregator.
You can also offer comment feeds to all your readers regardless of whether they have greasemonkey or even firefox, just put a link to the comment proxy in your post template. The url is shown below.

http://www.ts0.com/bloggercomments/get.asp?I'm sure this willl turn out to be a bit buggy in places and I'm expecting the comment page parsing to break on something obscure that I've not tested yet, just drop me an email if you have any problems.blogID=<$blogid$>&postID=<$BlogItemNumber$>
Things to do
- Test script properly in Trixie
- Generate suitable dates based on original post date when only time is available on comments
- Implement A-IM: feed header
- Implement gzip http compression
- Possibly rewrite in ASP.Net and use HTMLDom parser
