Communication is a key to success
I would repeat this over and over again, because it is forever true. When you have a blog, you are most likely to have visitors, in order to gain visitors, i will later publish more information about website submission and promotion.
Back to the topic, communications with your readers/visitors are always important. You create a blog, you are responsible for creating a sense of community, therefore, it is critical to get to know your readers.

Subscribe to Comments is a robust plugin that enables commenters to sign up for e-mail notification of subsequent entries. The plugin includes a full-featured subscription manager that your commenters can use to unsubscribe to certain posts, block all notifications, or even change their notification e-mail address!
You can download “subscribe to comments” here.
The installation procedure is
- Put subscribe-to-comments.php into [wordpress_dir]/wp-content/plugins/
- Go into the WordPress admin interface and activate the plugin
- Optional: if your WordPress theme doesn’t have the comment_form hook, or if you would like to manually determine where in your comments form the subscribe checkbox appears, enter this where you would like it:
<?php show_subscription_checkbox(); ?> - Optional: If you would like to enable users to subscribe to comments without having to first leave a comment, place this somewhere in your template, but make sure it is outside the comments form. A good place would be right after the ending
</form>tag for the comments form:<?php show_manual_subscription_form(); ?>
- Log out of WordPress
- Leave a comment on an entry and check the comment subscription box, using an e-mail that is NOT the WP admin e-mail address or the e-mail address of the author of the post.
- Leave a second comment using a different e-mail address than the one you used in step 2 (it can be a bogus address).
- This should trigger a notification to the first address you used.
I’d like the subscription checkbox to be checked by default. Can I do that?
Not anymore. But the checkbox status will be remembered on a per-user basis.
My subscription checkbox shows up in a strange place. How do I fix it?
Try unchecking the CSS “clear” option. Beyond that, you’re on your own with CSS positioning.
Any comments and suggestions welcome.
Thank you for reading.
