Noreply Comments make me sad


I've been meaning to do a post about this...but I didn't want to hurt any feelings. But who am I kidding...I didn't even know I was doing it until about 4 months ago when someone else told me. And then I saw a lot of my other fellow blog buddies posting about this dilemma so I thought...why not?!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE getting comments and I LOVE even more when you ask questions or tell me how much you love my blog...but then...I go to tell you "thank you." or "why yes, i am that awesome" and all I see is the dreaded noreply-comment@blogger.com.

I've connected with so many other bloggers just because we are able to email via our blog comments. And it may be a personal choice to not have others respond to your comments, but I enjoy it and I want to talk to YOU too!

So...if you want to fix this...here's how...

1. go to the Blogger Dashboard
2. click edit profile
3. look in the privacy section.
4. Click the box that says show my email address
5. In the identity section enter your email address
6. Scroll down and click Save Profile

Happy Blogging!






loves,

I'm definitely guilty of not showcasing my email address like that...HOWEVER...on two out of my three blogs I list my email address on my pages (in my Greenville blog it's under "content and contact info" and on my travel blog it's under "contact me, etc." I've had my email public like that in the past and had spam problems :-/
