When you have a multi-author blog, you likely want to split up some of the responsibilities between the different authors. They may get assigned different topic areas to avoid as much overlap as possible. It could also mean that they’re responsible for following up on their own posts if readers have any questions.

There’s just one problem with that. By default, when comments are held in moderation by WordPress, a notification e-mail message is sent to the site’s main administrator. If you have a fairly sizable blog, the site’s main administrator could easily get inundated with far too many e-mail messages. That’s inefficient and things can easily get lost in the mix.

As an alternative, you might want to consider the simply-designed and lengthily-worded Comment Moderation E-mail to Post Author WordPress plug-in. It’s free to download, install, and activate. What it does is send the comment moderation e-mail, as you can tell by the plug-in’s name, to the specific post author.

This way, each author can be held accountable for his or her own blog posts. This way, he or she can more readily respond to queries and comments that arise from the audience.
