in the loop

Do you ever leave comments on other people's blog posts? Do you sometimes wish you could be informed when other comments are made on the same posting without having to check back? Good news! Blogger has just created a new feature on the comments page whereby you can opt to receive emails when new comments are added to a particular post. Very cool! Here's how Blogger explains it:

The comment subscription feature allows readers of a blog to receive an email each time a comment is made to a particular post. You can subscribe to a post's comments by clicking the "Email" link next to "Subscribe to comments" on the post page.

In order to subscribe to comments by email, you must be logged in to a Google Account. Please log in with the account using the email address at which you'd like to receive the comment emails. As soon as you're logged in, you’ll be taken to a confirmation page where you can click "Subscribe" to opt in. On this page, you’ll also have the option to use a different Google Account to receive comment emails.

After you subscribe, you’ll receive one email for every comment published on the post. For moderated comments, an email will be sent out only after the comment has been approved by the moderator.

You can unsubscribe from comments by email at any time; just click the unsubscribe link in the comment emails you receive.

Or, alternatively, you can click the "Unsubscribe" link on the blog's comment page. Then, just as when you subscribed to comments by email, you’ll be taken to a confirmation page where you can confirm your unsubscription.

You may only subscribe to comments on a per-post basis.

Happy commenting!
