What We've Got Here Is....Failure to Communicate......

Ok, so this has been bothering me for quite some time now.  I LOVE it when I get a comment.  The thing is, I wanna respond to your comments, should they need a response.  Whether it's to welcome you to the blog, come back with a smartass remark or answer a question. 

I get an email notification to my phone each time I get a comment and I get excited :)  I want to respond to you from there.  I feel like if I return your comment on the post, that you'll probably not read it. I mean, there are probably only so many people like me who actually go back to a post after I've read them and look at the comments.. Maybe you do, maybe you don't....  Anyways, on another blog that I read, Classy & Fabulous, Sarah pointed a bunch of us out specifically that she couldn't respond to.  I assumed since I had a Blogger account and I have several different email addresses in there that she could reply to me.  Seems I didn't know there was another spot that you had to fill in information. 

When she hit reply she got the email address of noreply@blogger.com.  That's gay, but it's what happens when I try to respond to the majority of you directly.  I know, I know, you don't wanna use your personal email address, blah blah, well if you have a blog and a a generic email for your blog, that you use to return comments on your site, use that.  For the rest of you, did you know that you can have a blogger profile and not have a blog?  Then from there, I don't know, maybe setup a gmail account that feeds into your main email?  With my iPhone I can setup a bunch of email accounts, so I never even have to login to my gmail to actually get the mail.  Maybe you don't follow many blogs and don't wanna do this.  That's most certainly up to you.  Below are instructions on how to make sure the option for receiving emails through your blogger account is activated.



1. Click on the Dashboard link in the upper right hand corner of your screen.

2. Click on Edit Profile, which is on the left hand side of the screen next to your picture.

3. This will take you to the Edit User Profile screen.

4. Look in the Privacy section.

5. Check the box that says, "Show my email address".

6. In the Identity section, enter in an email address.

7. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on Save Profile.

Like I said, no matter what email address you use to login to Blogger, that won't change even if you want to use another email address in this section :)
