Friends don’t let friends blog without comment notification ;)
On December 19, 2007 in Blog Improvements, Community building, DailyJ Mission, Helping Japan Bloggers
In my last “Helping Japan Bloggers” post I asked Nick from LongCountdown.com to “share the love,” and share it he did!
Nick gave all of us the plugin that notifies your commentors when someone replies to their comment.
Quicknote - This is a wordpress plugin. If you use Blogger you are lucky and already have this function. If you are on another blog platform leave a comment and hopefully we can find the solution for you too (or switch *cough**cough*).
Nick Ramsay Said,…To notify people of new comments on my blog, I use the Subscribe to Comments plugin for Wordpress.
He also mentioned somethings about RSS that some might not know (more on that next time).
Now this is my commission to you:
If you have a wordpress blog or if you know a Japan-blogger with a wordpress blog, why not tell them today to install this plugin for better blog communication?
And why not spread the word on your own blog too? You don’t have to mention this post, just take this information and use it on your blog help your fellow Japan-bloggers make their blogs better!
Share the love!
Daily J
Glad to see you’ve installed the plugin on the Daily J. It’s a hassle having to go back to a blog to see if the author has replied to a comment or not, so this plugin is a great timesaver.
I’m so installing this! Thanks for the heads up!
I totally agree.
I want people to know when I’ve replied and I want to know when people have replied to to my comments on their blogs too.
So I had been wanting to install this for a little while, but with so many things to do it kept being pushed aside.
Thanks again Nick for sharing it with us!
@ Harvey,
No problem. Go forth and spread the word!
I’ve installed, I hope!
Looks like it is up and working, Ken.
If you know any bloggers lacking it be sure to give them the link
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe-to-comments/
Does this work for blogs posted at wordpress.com? I think its a great idea but I hesitated as it was a .org plug-in. Anyone know the answer to this?
Hi Shane,
I don’t think it works for blogs hosted at wordpress.com but I am not certain. I haven’t used a wordpress hosted blog before. But I set one up to see if I could find any solution. I didn’t find one but I noticed that in the backend there is no tab for “plugins” (only Dashboard, Write, Manage, Comments, Blogroll, Presentation, Users, Options, Upgrades)
I also searched wordpress.com for “subscribe to comments” but did not find anything that looked useful.
If I find out anything I will let you know!
