I was going to call this post \u201cOoh, what does\u00a0this\u00a0<\/em>button do?\u201d (a la Dexter\u2019s Lab) but thought that perhaps not everyone would read it who needs to.<\/p>\n

Those who asked about subscribing to and unsubscribing from receiving comments, here is something to try.<\/p>\n

There is a button at the bottom of each post that looks like this:<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

See that tab with options on the right side of it? \u00a0 $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Click it and you will see options for subscribing and unsubscribing to comments.<\/p>\n

Try it out, see what happens, and let me know how it works. Once again, being administrator on my blog, I get notifications of all comments anyway, and so it is hard for me to test the functionality of things like this. Please leave a comment and let me know how it works. Your feedback is appreciated!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
