Subscribe to Comments

WordPress (the blog hosting I use) has added a new feature that I have been asking and waiting to get for a long time.

Now when you leave a comment you can check a box below that comment box that says “notify me of followup comments via email”.

Now and then we have some great discussions on this blog (thanks to all of you) but a lot of you only leave one comment and then don’t come back to that post. A great way to stay in the discussion is to check that box because it will help you track and stay involved in the conversation.

This is just another reason why you all need to switch from Blogger, LiveJournal, or whatever else you might be using. It just isn’t as good as WordPress.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this increases the value of the things we talk about here.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

I’ve got WordPress but don’t have this enabled. Does it subscribe me to only comments in reply to mine, or to any for this post?

Ah…this is a WordPress.com thing. I’ve got WordPress.org on my site. Doesn’t appear to be a configurable option for .org. Oooh, found a plugin!!! Sweet!

I love it when people answer their own questions.
