Once Upon a Geek

Hey gang - I just wanted to let you know about some new functionality for comments on my blog.  I think this new feature will make comments much easier for users to follow.

The new feature allows someone making a comment to have further comments to that same post e-mailed directly to them.  For example, let’s say you make a derogatory comment on my post about Aquaman.  Instead of having to remember to come back to my site to see if I wrote a scathing comment back, you can just opt to have any further comments e-mailed directly to you.  Very handy!

I believe this will help to foster dialogue back and forth, rather than having to manually check for responses to your comments.  Below is a screen shot showing you where you select to have follow-up comments sent to you via e-mail.

If you are running WordPress and are interested in this feature, it’s a plugin called “Subscribe to Comments“.  It hasn’t been tested for WordPress 2.5 yet, but it definitely works on 2.3.1.

If you are reading this, please take a second to visit my site (http://onceuponageek.com/) and take the poll in the right-hand sidebar.  I’m just curious how everyone reads my blog.  For example, do you read it on my site, or through LiveJournal, or through an RSS feeder, or some other way I’m not even thinking of.

Regardless, thanks for reading my blog!  And please take just a couple seconds to vote in the poll.

Thanks,

The Irredeemable Shag
