Subscribe To Comments Must Have WordPress Plugin
I already posted about must have plugins for your wordpress blog and I have already mentioned about subscribe to comments plugin there too but I felt that I should write a detailed post about this plugin so that you will have better understanding about this plugin.
This plugin will increase the interactivity of your blog since it allows your commenter to subscribe further comments by checking the box that says “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” that will show up in comments section once you activate this plugin and after that whenever a commenter will check this box before posting the comment then he will get e-mail notifications for further comments that allows him to participate in the discussion.
This plugins becomes very useful when you have a decent readership because it allows commenter to monitor all the later comments and continue to participate in the discussion. It also increase the user generated content (UGC) in your blog.
