I'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.

Owen’s Comment Emailer Plugin

  • by Marisa
  • April 20, 2007

My friend Owen is a whiz at WordPress plugins and FireFox extensions. Even more important, he’s a very generous man. After all, he created this great plugin for the WordPress community just because someone asked for it. What a great guy!

Owen’s Comment Email Responder allows the administrator of a blog to respond to a comment as usual. The difference is, the response is also emailed to the commenter. Isn’t that a great idea?

Previously, whenever someone would comment here on my blog, I’d try to respond to the comment. Sometimes I’d also copy and paste my reply into an email to send off to the commenter but other times I neglected to do that. Many times I’d go back to email my visitors who took the time to respond and forget which emails I’d sent and which I hadn’t.

(Using POP accounts with Thunderbird on two different computers doesn’t help with my organizational shortcomings, either.)

I’ve installed Owen’s Comment Email Responder Plugin and it’s working flawlessly. Owen is just so generous to spend time making this and offering it to all of us. He based this plugin on the work of Andrew Flusche. If you find this useful, please drop Owen a comment and thank him. Better yet, blog about it. Pass the word along about this great plugin. Let’s show Owen how much we appreciate this great Plugin!

Oh, and digg it, too.

  • I think there should be an option for commenters on whether or not they wish to be contacted via e-mail! I can see this being annoying and maybe even discourage some commenters!

  • Really? I try to email everyone who comments on my blog anyway. I figure it’s the polite thing to do if someone takes the time to comment. I never saw it as annoying. Interesting how we all see things differently. :)
