Subscribe to comments by email

There is a cool new feature (its about time, thanks guys!) that 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.

There is one exception to this feature. 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.


Notes:

  • You may only subscribe to comments on a per-post basis.
  • If your Google Account is unverified, you can still subscribe to comments but won’t receive comment emails until your account is verified. If you sign up for comment emails on a blog post with an unverified Google Account, you’ll see a message on the comment page to remind you to verify your account.
