Blogging: FAQ-Tastic & Comment Remix
Do you like the ability to interact with your audience? I do, and about six months ago or more I found a great plugin that allows me to answer questions people have about my niche. Notice the top navigatin panel, which has “Blogging Questions,” “SEO Questions,” etc. Those are the result of using FAQ-tastic.
FAQ-Tastic isn’t hard to use, but don’t try it if you’re a beginner. It does involve adding pages and code to those pages so they pages will interact with the software. I mean, it’s not rocket science, and anyone who knows HTML probably won’t have any problems with it at all.
But what it does is give your readers the opportunity to ask you questions. They can be questions about what you’re posting or anything having to do with the categories you design in FAQ-Tastic. Pretty neat. I love helping folks and answering questions is what I do about 55% of my time, so it’s a no-brainer for me to have this plugin. It’s a way for me to keep in touch with my readers, too.
Another great plugin is Comment Remix (and you can search for either of these plugins right from your blog). This allows you to order the comments the way you want them to be (newest first, rather than the other way around), and the sweetest feature perhaps is that it gives you a “reply” button. You can hit it on any comment and just reply. If you don’t have this, you have to edit the post in most themes, and put your answer into the original comment, which is a pain in the butt.
With Comment Remix, you simple click the reply button, and a write blank opens up. You reply right there and be on your way.
I really like these two plugins and I’ve been using them long enough to recommend them. I hope you’ll love them as much as I do.
