Hello,
Sometimes you may want to ask yourself that what if you are able to allow your users are able to send you error corrections from within your post. We have been using comments but sometimes comments are not a great way to pin point where the real problem.
With so much room for improvement I am offering this one of its kind plugin that you can use to make parts of your post up for corrections and make them available to your blog readers. It will increase their interaction with your blog post and they will feel better about their contributions.
Put it this way, the paragraph below is something that you can temporarily modify and send me your corrected version.
So when you hover on the above element you will get an indication that you are able to interact with the above line and send me a better version of above. An email will be sent to me immediately notifying me with the following
- URL of the post
- Old content
- New modified content
If I like the new corrected content then I can just search for old content within the post and replace old content with new one with any required modifications if required.
And you are able to thank user about their input.

Here is a screenshot for actual usage within the post
Recommendation and usage
If you want to make part of your post to accept corrections then your content should be directly under container with css class jcedit
e.g.
Please note that at this point custom styles within the container are not preserved so once user cancels or send a correction any associated styles will be lost for the correctable containers.
In other words something like this is not recommended

1 2 3 4 5 6 |
<div class="jcedit"> This is my editable div <p>hello</p> blah <div style="background:black;color:white">hello</div> </div> |
