WordPress: Since this (email notification for comments) feature went live we’ve had a bunch of feedback and it looks like following comments by default is not a good fit for a lot of bloggers (and their readers) after all.
We looked at a few different options, but for now we’ve just changed things back to how they were before. To follow a conversation, make sure you check the box when you post a comment.
****
So, I’ve restored the option under comments (which I disabled to stop the flood of emails you were all receiving) – if you want email notification of replies to your comments, just click the box (see below).

Mahalo!

How ’bout that, I just walked in and checked my emails and VIOLA! 😆
Glad they made the change.
Hopes dashed again!!! Congrats GG!
Good wonderful afternoon to you ggail, good for you.
Chipsticks – you take such good care of us.
Thanks guys! Being first for me is truly the luck of the draw.
If I say pretty please may I have a 2nd prize picture Chips? Please… huh? Pretty please?
Absolutely not. First is first, second (or third or fourth or fifth or…..) is nowhere. It’s a tough life lesson, but one you, Dudette, have to learn.

Oh, go on then:
Thank you, Oh Great One! Your compassion is boundless! 😀
Wonderful news about the comment box. My office email address is my default and as if there was any doubt about the activity on this blog, you should see my email after two days off!
OhHappy Day!!! I’m doing my Snoopy Happy Dance! Who knew Second could be so sweet?
I think it’s the residual glow of watching history made as my favorite blog in the whole world got 10 MILLION Big Ones! Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! 😀 😀 😀
Hey, take it easy, Dudette! You’re kicking up the dust in my face! Congrats on 2nd.
/Hmmm! I’m going to try that ‘pretty please’ routine next time I miss out on a thread. I’ll wait until it’s not so fresh in CC’s mind./
Flotus looks grrrreat!
Rubio is currently giving a speech to the South Carolina Republican Party on C-SPAN. The guy is horrible. He is even bashing Harvard and Yale. I hope he is Willard’s running mate.
Why bash Harvard and Yale? What’s the purpose? These Republicans are scary.
What, Rubio didn’t learn anything from Rick Santorum? What a snob…
New post everyone:

Funny how WordPress reversed itself so quickly after being so certain that everyone would luv the new default. Good for them for responding to customer dissatisfaction.
Thanks, Chips, for all you do for us, our country, and the whole Planet!
TESTING.. 😛
For a moment I thought that the fireworks were for the 10 million hits.
