Subscribe to Comments via Email
I just installed a long requested plugin that allows a user (YOU!) to subscribe to comments on any given post. The idea is that after you’ve written a comment you can opt to also be notified via email every time a new comment is added to that post. It is not for everyone, but if this is your cup-of-tea, then try it out and let me know if you’re having any issues…

I really like this plugin, as it helps to keep people involved in the conversations. I really like co.mments.com quite a bit as well (I currently have 160 conversations I am tracking right now).

Glad to hear this plugin is appreciated! I just noticed the formatting looks bad in I.E, (It looked good when I tested it on my Mac last night (both Safari and Firefox) but I think I’ll keep it for the time being…

Very cool feature. It will sure save some time instead of constantly checking back to see if someone has replied to your comment. Wait a second isn’t that what Treo’s and Blackberry’s are for?
Does it work for just that post?

John,
At this point it only works for this post. My guess is that most people do not want an email each time there is a new post and/or comment on RCG, but I could be wrong. I’m such a feed addict that I sometimes forget not everyone has figured out the benefits of subscribing via RSS…
Would you, or anyone else, be interested in subscribing to all the posts via email? I noticed in researching the “subscribe to comments” that there are other plugins available that would allow people to subscribe to posts via email…

I would agree with you that not many would want to be emailed for every comment- me included. It’s a nice feature for individual posts however.

Thanks, Dustin.
This is great news. I’ve tried it on other blogs and really like it because it saves me time.
