After a long day of plugins search, email and instant message exchange with Plugin Authors and Theme Developers, I have finally resolved the issue.  The case regarding instant replies is now closed.  Little did I know that the Instant Reply feature is already built in to InfoCreek themes.  They may have mentioned it in the ReadMe.txt but I didn’t bother reading it.

I finally had my eureka moment when I decided to deactivate the AJAX plugins that I have downloaded.  Then I tried to submit a comment and voila!!! My comment was published instantly.

If your blogs doesn’t have this Instant Reply feature (I’m addressing this to wordpress users), I’m recommending you to download and install either of the plugins below:

• AJAX Comment Posting by Regua
• AJAX Comments by Mike Smullin

So, there shouldn’t be any more concerns regarding replies and comments.  If there’s anything else that you noticed, do let me know, will ya?

NEW!!! I have also added another feature in my blog - the Member’s section.  Those who are registered members of my blog (not just the subscribed ones) will have their own Profile that shows their website, biographical info (if you filled it up), a list of their comments and your Uploaded Photo.  This way, I can help promote your site to the other readers of my blog while keeping track of the comments that you have posted.   For those who have not registered yet, it is never to late to jump in and be included in the directory.  All you have to do is to click REGISTER at the Meta Widget located at the right side.  Fill in the information needed and when you’re done, you will be able to see your Profile at the Member’s Directory page.

Enjoy browsing through my blog and keep coming back!

I have been making updates on my blog.  Not only have I created new posts but I have also switched to a new theme.  The new look is for the sake of novelty.  I just thought that regular visitors of my site might want to view different colors for a change.  This Notepad theme is designed by professionals from Infocreek which provides web development service and accepts customize web designs.

Aside from the new theme, I have also added a new plugin to my website.  Subscribe2 provides a comprehensive subscription management and email notification system for WordPress blogs that sends email notifications to a list of subscribers when a new content is published to the blog.  E-mail notifications will be sent per-post basis or periodically in a Digest email.

Those who have already subscribed to my blog…

Those who have not subscribed and wish to be updated and be informed if there’s a new post made in my blog, you have two ways to do it.

• You can Register by clicking it at the Meta Widget.
• You can simply type your email address at the Subscribe to my Blog section.

With this new update, you don’t have to come to my site every day to check if a new post has been made.  I will send you an email as soon as a new post has been published.   This way, you won’t miss a thing.

I have also enabled the Avatar option so that User photos may be displayed within a post or a comment to help identify the author.  If you are a REGISTERED USER on my blog, you will have the option to upload your image on your profile section.  This photo will be scaled to fit the dimensions for the Profile page and a thumbnail automatically generated for comments.
