<p>I know how it goes. You work hard, carefully crafting your posts. You take a stand on a subject you care about and deliver it with the kind of eloquence and poise that would make your English teacher proud. You post it, and then….</p>
<p>…Nothing.</p>
<p>You check your analytics. Everything looks normal. In fact, there was a spike after you posted. It’s being shared – people are enjoying it – so then why is no one commenting?</p>
<p>You try to intellectualise it – you don’t need validation. You know in your heart it was a good post, you don’t need their say-so. Still, it would be nice if one person – anyone – could give you a little text-based ‘atta-boy!’. So how do you get them to do that?</p>
<p>With the NEW Comment Link Suggest-O-Tron!</p>
<p>This nifty little plugin sits under your post editor and reminds, nay, DEMANDS that you write a little something to push people to publish a little praise on your post. It features a drop down list of suggestions that allow you to ask all the right questions in a matter of seconds and allows you to add your favourite comment prompts to the list! Imagine all of the time that you’ll save – perhaps even as much as a minute!</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatic link generation – sorts out the link to your respond form, and then adds it to the bottom of the post both on your blog and in your RSS feed</li>
<li>Ability to add some basic styling – make your comment link bold or italic with ease</li>
<li>Want to go further? The comment is enclosed in its own class for some custom CSS craziness</li>
<li>Don’t have time to think of a question? Choose one of the Suggest-O-Tron prompts and be done in seconds!</li>
<li>Ask the same question a lot? Add it to the Suggest-O-Tron dropdown and save yourself many seconds of unnecessary typing!</li>
<li>Draggable meta box – you can drag it up so that it sits right under your post edit field, reminding you to post a prompt</li>
</ul>
