How to Automatically Thank Commenters
A couple of people asked recently how I send those automated emails that thank people for commenting. The answer is quite simple, it is a fantastic plugin called Comment Relish
Comment relish is a Wordpress plugin developed to send an e-mail message to users who comment on your website who have never commented before.
A simple and elegant solution!
I first heard about it in a forum thread started by Ben Cook. He was having some trouble with the plugin but it has worked very well for me (so far!).
The way I use it is to thank commenters for their feedback and remind them of the subscription options. I don’t track how many people take it up but I think the thank you alone is well worth it 🙂
