@ Chris: That is very valuable feedback actually. I see where you are coming from with this. We can’t be too careful these days with email campaigns of any nature.

Being an email delivery consultant I can see how this could draw some spam complaints if someone enters wrong email addresses.

I am currently testing it out on one of my sites, but I would definitely put a disclaimer at the top stating why this email has been sent and that this is the only email to be sent.

As long as it only sends one email and never again to the address once it is entered you will be ok.

If you get spam complaints then pull it because a history of this will get you in trouble with email delivery and ISPs.

I would never comment on you blog and neither will 99% of the rest of the internet.

The email address is there to keep up with the thread for me, not you.

If I add a comment to your blog it is of value to you, not me. So taking more of my time to comment on your blog is not very attractive so bye-bye.

I just wanted to comment to say that I actually received an email from a blog that must have been using this plugin but I didn’t realize it then and I wasn’t put off by it at all. The email was re-worded and had a genuine “thank you for your comment and welcome to my blog community” feel to it. I personally thought it was a very nice touch! I will be installing this plugin on my blog and rewording it with a similar style since I know just how effective it was for me.

[...] Many of the bloggers in the blogosphere might be knowing about the Comment relish plugin, if not then here is a close-up about the plugin – Comment relish plugin is an auto function by which a thanks giving mail is sent to the commenter who has posted a comment for the first time in your blog.

No problem with the install Ash.

sometimes it has got to do be with conflicts with another file on your server.

I had the same problem when I installed another plugin;
check if you have another header.php file in your server.

delete it or rename it, that’s what I did.

regards,
Bobby

Anyone experienced any problems after activating the comment relish plug-in? I had loads of php warning messages appearing at the top of my blog page after activation. I was using WP 2.3.1.

Anyone with similar problem?

what a great plugin! thanks for the info

btw, can I ask you something? what’s the difference between “Subscribe to comments via email” above the comment box and “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” below the comment box?

thanks

I agree with Bobby Leong. I customized my message. It is a good welcome message that never pissed off anyone. When you start receiving 50 comments in a few days after publishing a popular post, this plugin helps you welcome the first time visitors.
