I'm not sure what you're describing. A link to your website might help. Do you want a comment count for each post or for each blog?

In the skins I notice the following code refering to comments:

<?php $Item->feedback_link( 'comments' ) // Link to comments ?>

I also see:

<?php $disp_comments = 1; // Display comments if requested
$disp_comment_form = 1; // Display comments form if requested
?>

I want it for each post. With the general posts, you see the comment count at the bottom beside "trackback", with magpierss I want to include the comment count beside the displaying titles when they are being fed into another page. I already found those codes you pointed out---thank you anyway---but I couldn't figure out how to impliment it within the magpierss, I get errors when I try---I'm far from a programmer.
