New: Email Private Comment

Based on further member "feedback" on blogging and commenting, we've added a new "Email Private Comment" option to the blog comment area. This allows you to send a quick note back to the blogger without having it posted publicly and without having anyone notified that the comment was sent... except, of course, for the blogger.

This seems to be a great compromise that allows both members like myself who want notifications and those members who just want to easily send private comments back to those writing the blog. Personally, I do not have time to follow up on blogs I'm interested in, but I do sincerely want to hear what other writers have to say about certain topics. After all, I read all the comments before I post a comment, so I sure do want to know the comments that come after I comment. We understand others are looking to keep their blogging a little more private. Blogs also differ from forums in that blog comments do not change the update time of a blog, (as they should not). So following a blog in your favorites does not alert you to follow up commenting.

Also, from the blog comment area, we've added a direct link to the "Edit Preferences" area, allowing anyone to quickly and easily set their preference for Blog Comment notifications.

Best wishes,
