### 󠀁[Great idea – works out of the box](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-idea-works-out-of-the-box/)󠁿

Just installed this plugin to my site and liek that it works out of the box without
a lot of adjustments to be made. The subscription form will only become viewable
when the reader clicks on the author’s name – there appears to be no indication 
that readers can subscribe, though.
