T Blog

One of the nice features of a blog is that readers can comment on your posts, and WordPress has a pretty good Comment management system. The amount of spammed comments on my blog has really skyrocketed over the summer, though, and every time I open my email I have ten emails to delete, notifying me of comments. An email from a student with the same situation prompted me to take a look at the options for these emails.

If you’d like to stop getting emails about comments on your Keeneweb blog, here’s how to do it:

Sign into your Keeneweb blog (http://keeneweb.org/wp-admin) and from the dashboard click on the Settings tab (it’s one of the three smaller tabs on the right side of the screen), and then click on the Discussion tab. The second box on the Discussion page contains the “Email me whenever” options. Uncheck the two boxes there and you’ll get no more emails.  Don’t forget to scroll down the the bottom to hit the Save Changes button.  You will still be able to receive comments on your posts, and you can manage the comments whenever you sign into your Keeneweb account.
