However, after reading the diferent views aired above, I have decided against it. Readers are easily offended, and often times, they won't even tell what your offense was. They just go away never to return. I don't want to do that when I am yet crying for readers. This is the beauty of blogging. You have an idea that you think is absolutely wonderful, and readers start putting down their own views from other perspectives, before you know it, you have to change your stance, not because you are chicken hearted, because you love your readers. Thanks for posting about this, it has done me a lot of good. Cheers. I actually was searching for this plug-in because I thought it was a nice one to add to my new blog.

There's a new "optimized" version that works great for me put out by I think it's patchlog.com. If anyone has any trouble with the original, you might want to give that version a try.

First impressions count - and if this includes getting what is, in essence, an unsolicited email then I suspect many (if not most) readers will take a very dim view. When I initially saw this I thought it could be useful for many of the reasons you state - but that's from my perspective as a site owner and from the angle of what it can do for me. Whether such an angle is in the interests of readers is quite another matter, however.

From my point of view i'm leaving a comment no asking to be sent a promotional email. Sorry but i dont like the idea of it. Julian.

After that the site was unresponsive, so I deleted the plugin off the server. I tested it out, it sent NINE copies of the email to the gmail account I used for the fake comment.

How are you going to put those links in the email as the plugin doesn't support HTML tags. So it's nearly useless IMHO. Did you try it?
