WordPress Plugin: Comment Relish

WordPress Plugin: Comment Relish

Another installment in a series of posts covering my most loved and used WordPress plugins.

Blogging is about community and communication, something which is reflected by the state of a blog’s comments.  You want new commenters, but you also want them to come back. One of the best ways to do this is to make a newcomer feel appreciated that they took the time to leave their comment.

Comment Relish automates the love and appreciation to your new commenter by sending a fully customisable thank you message to anyone who comments on your blog for the first time. Just imagine how it feels, you have just commented on a blog, then a few minutes later a message pops into your email thanking you for your time. ‘Thank you’ is a very powerful relationship building phrase.

The comment’s home page is here.
You can download it directly from the author’s website here.

    It may be better than nothing, but if it’s automated I would think it lacks a bit of feeling. It’s just bacn really, isn’t it?

    I wouldn’t say it was better than nothing, it’s a tool to aid in communication. It’s a fully customisable, personalised message, so only lacks feeling if the site owner can’t manage to assemble a decent welcome/thank you message.
