To all my visitors, this is a fix sent to me by our blogging friend Amy, of whom many of you visit as myself. WordPress changed something about preferences and unfortunately put check marks in boxes most of us would rather not have. One of those allows you to get email comments from people who are commenting on other people’s sites. Say, when I comment on your site and this box is left checked, it will cause everyone who leaves a comment there as well to have their comments sent to me, when these should only be going to the person whose site they are commenting on. I am entering the fix here, should you wish to try it, if you do not want your email to be overloaded with comments you should not be getting. Thank you to those who visit on a regular basis and I welcome any newcomers as well. Happy to have you.
On your Dashboard, left column, click “Settings.”
Under “Settings” menu, click “Discussions.”
On “Discussions” page, scroll WAY, WAY down… to just above Avatars section. You’ll find some checked boxes, including “Allow: Follow Comments.”
Uncheck that box.
Then go to the bottom and click on ‘Save’.
