i know. it was weird not ever getting feedback. i've switched over to blogger, so i can have comments, do phone posts, upload pics from my phone, etc.
i used to use blogrolling.com, which would tell you when the entry was new, but for a while the site kept not working, and i'd lose my blogrolls temporarily. i didn't like it, so i just put them in by hand. maybe the site has improved since then? you could give it a shot.
