The Ultimate WP Plugin

I can write a static HTML page or CSS. I can even manipulate some javascript and php a little bit. But a Firefox extension or WordPress plugin? Uh, no. Not me.

So, when I went looking for a specific WP plugin and came up empty, I turned my friend Owen. That was several weeks ago but today, Owen delivered. And he did it perfectly!

When someone would comment to one of my blog posts, I’d typically answer them on my blog. I like the feeling of a conversation on my blog. It was a pain, though, to copy my response from my blog and then paste it into and email to send it off to the commenter. And yet, if I don’t email my response to the comment, how do I know the commenter will see my response. Quite a dilemma, wouldn’t you say?

And that’s where Owen stepped in. Owen has created The Comment Email Responder v2 Plugin for WordPress. He based it on the work of Andrew Flusche.

The Comment Email Responder makes it easy to respond to comments on your blog. Not only will my response show up in the comments but the person to whom I respond will receive an email with my response as well. That’s one less step for any WP blogger trying to keep in touch with both new and regular visitors.

I’ve spent about 3 months or so searching for a plugin like this. I know one doesn’t exist. Or at least it didn’t before Owen came up with this one. So get on over to Owen’s site, download the plugin and tell him THANK YOU for this. Oh, and if you love this plugin as much as I do, please spread the word. Send Owen some linky love. He deserves it.
