I found this great little plug-in for Wordpress Subscribe to Comments 2.1 [ Tempus Fugit | TxFx.net ] and I took the time to install it.
It installed easily and worked right out of the box with little to no problems at all. What it does is add a little check box that
sends readers an email when the comments have been updated.
They can do this if they have made a comment or even if they haven’t, and they just want to be notified when others have posted a comment. The plugin also remembers if you have already signed up and clicked to be informed, and it displays a different screen asking them if they want to manage their subscriptions.
After I installed the plug-in I went to go and test it. I took a look at my comment section. I highly recommend that if you have not taken the time to do this, you should go and do it right now. I found it hard to understand and some errors in the way it asks for information.
This is an often overlooked section of your blog, one that should be important to you. We are trying to build a community and the best way to do this is with comments. If your readers come to make a comment and find problems, then there is a good chance that they will not make one and possibly just leave the site.
So what do you all think? Is it important to get comments, or is it just ok for people to come to the site and read and go away?
