Dear Lazyweb
Apr. 29th, 2008 10:51 pmSome of you customise your journal's appearance using LiveJournal's S2 system. The whole thing looks a bit baroque, with much mentioning of "layers", so I thought I'd just ask questions of people who might know how to do what I want.
I have a thingy which generates an Atom feed from the comments on each of public postings (by "thingy" I mean a couple of Python scripts, one of which is a heavily modified version of ljdump and the other of which is a script which generates the feeds using the dumped information. I might publish them if anyone's interested). Proper blogs have these feeds, so I thought mine should too.
I would like to make people's browsers aware of the feed when viewing an entry, which means sticking some extra
At some stage the script is also going to produce a single feed of all comments on my public postings (and maybe all my comments on your public postings, if you don't object). So I'd also like to know how to stick stuff in the <head> of the entire journal view (which already links to the Atom feed of my postings which LJ generates itself).
Any help you can give in telling me where to start with this stuff would be much appreciated.

<link> elements into the <head> element of the entry view. I'd also like to link to the feed somewhere on the entry page, probably in the little list of stuff you can do with the entry (you know, permalink, write a comment, add to memories, denounce, and so on). The link would reference http://www.noctua.org.uk/paul/lj/feeds/nnnn.xml, where nnnn is the unique number which LJ puts in the permalink to the entry itself (for example, this entry's number is 83644).At some stage the script is also going to produce a single feed of all comments on my public postings (and maybe all my comments on your public postings, if you don't object).
