Add Subscribe to Comments Option

Everytime you write a Wordpress post, you have the potential to turn it into a discussion by allowing people to comment/ask questions then reponding or replying yourself. Your comments and readers comments you have approved appear on your website below the post they relate to. The dilema is always whether you should email the commenter with the answer to their question as well as posting the answer in your comments or just hope they will return to your post to check if you have answered.

Keep Readers Up to Date on Posts of Interest

The Subscribe to Comments plugin solves this problem by adding an option to your comments form so that readers can receive email notification of any comments added to a post they are interested in. From the reader point of view… you write your comment/question below a post and tick the subscribe button if you want to be emailed the answer.

Why Use Your Comments Form

The comments you receive on your posts and the answers you give go a long way to building your website’s credibility and establishing yourself as the expert. In addition to this relevant comments can attract search engine listings in their own right. I often use the comments form myself to add updates and additional info to my Wordpress posts.  Readers can then keep up to date with changes to a plugin, a better technique or a link to another relevant article by subscibing to comments.
