Comment Change - Even Better

We have all been delivered from days and nights of obsessively refreshing my posts waiting for a comment from me.  Not that you were doing that.  Not that there would be anything wrong with it if you *were* doing that, which I know you totally weren't.  Right? ;)

Andrew did us all a huge favor last night and coded up some comment email notification functionality last night.  Yay!

So, if you leave a comment asking a question or you're just curious what people who leave comments after you have to say, click the little box at the bottom of the comment form labeled "notify me of future comments for this post via email. "

You'll get an comment notification email every time someone comments on that post.  Every email includes an unsubscribe link, so you can stop the emails for that post anytime.  This whole thing makes me *so* happy!

Three cheers for my favoritest husband.  Woo-hoo!!! Woo-hoo!!! Woo-hoo!!!

Dang, that's fancy! And a great solution. I've been hearing about a program called Disqus that does something similar for those of us who don't have coding superpowers like you and Andrew. :-) http://disqus.com/

I heard about that service, too. It looks great!

My next comment upgrade is going to be one-level comment threading so that I (and anyone else) can reply directly underneath a comment. I don't want to do fully-threaded comments because the display on that would be a nightmare (not to mention the loops and loops and loops in the code), but being able to tuck a comment in the middle of the flow and associate it with another comment would be nice.

Plus, it's not like my comments are a hotbed of back-and-forth, so one level should be sufficient ... although, with all these technological advances, maybe my comment section will become *the* place to be. ;)

I can't ever decide what to do with my comments. I have a email notifier. And then for a while I was updating comments with my reply. And then sometimes I use some replier plugin where I can reply in my comments and the plugin will email the person back I'm commenting to. And I just can't ever decide what's the best solution.

The only contribution my husband makes to my blog are sarcastic anonymous comments...
