I am very lazy and forgetful when it comes to my browsing habits. If a website does not have an RSS feed, I’m not going to be a regular there. It’s just to tedious to actually go to some silly site and check for updates every day. There are quite a few web comics out there that I would love to follow, but they do not publish RSS. In effect, I rarely visit them, and I do not keep up with the story/jokes.
Same is with comments. Sometimes I stumble onto some interesting blog, and post a comment. But I very rarely go back to see if the author commented anything back. This seems to be the case with everyone. Often I get a comment from someone who randomly stumbled onto my blog via Google or Technorati. But these people rarely stick around. Usually they post a single comment, and never come back.
So I decided I need to fix this. You can now automatically subscribe to the comments when you post them. Just check that little box below the text area, and you are good 
You will get an email notification to the address you entered when someone else replies to that same post.
You can also go back and un-subscribe at any time. Pretty neat eh? Wordpress is like the Firefox of blogging tools – there is a freakin plugin for everything. If you have a Wordpress blog, I highly recommend Subscribe to Comments 2.0.
