Subscribing to discussion threads

I’ve just tweaked the subscription service a little.

I was finding it wearing dealing with the few folks who decided that they’d rather reply to the comment notification emails than comment on the blog, so I’ve created a new address just to deal with the subscriptions and set up an auto-responder to nag people to comment on the blog instead of expecting an email reply (the tiny joys of blogging – aren’t they fabulous!).

So, if you have aggressive spam filters and don’t want to miss out on your “new comment” notifications, you might like to update them to reflect that subscribers will now receive notification emails from an account named “Hoyden About Town (do not reply)” and the email address sending them will be “hoyden.donotreply” at that gmail (d o t c o m) place.
