 * I got my WordPress all uploaded to my website and everything and I downloaded
   the plugins I wanted (subscribe to comments) and I added them. They show up in
   my plugins. I activated them. But they’re not working.
 * I’m thinking I need to change some of my themes code but…I’m just not sure what
   to replace!
 * And I’m sure it’s something simple but I just can’t get it.
 * Can anyone point me to a tutorial or offer advice?
 * thanks so much!

 * My best advice: read the instructions (usually, readme file) that come with the
   plugins.
