Are you a no-reply blogger?

I posted this back in June of last year, and decided I'd share it again.  If you don't know whether you are, or aren't a no-reply blogger, then chances are that you are one.  :)

Okay, today we are talking about no-reply bloggers.  You guys, I had no idea what that was until Tiffany wrote this post 2 years ago.  I realized that I was a no-reply blogger and hurried to fix it.  It's life changing if you're a blogger.

Who has time to go back to each blog that you read to see if the author responded to your comment.  I know I don't.  If it doesn't come straight back to me by email, then I never know if or how they responded.  It takes enough time out of my day to read the blogs once, but I don't have time to go back twice.

See the thing is... I reply to every comment that I receive here on my blog.  Every single one.  I reply by email unless I see that you are a no-reply blogger.  In that case, I leave my reply on my post, which means you have to come all the way back to the post to read it.  But if you decide to switch over, the reply will come straight to your email, and you can even respond back, which is how blogging friendships are formed.  It's hard to get to know someone through just one comment, but by being able to reply to another blogger, you are able to continue the conversation if need be.

If you are interested in changing this feature, it's super quick and easy.  Just go into your blogger profile, click on edit profile.  At the top under privacy you will click on the little box and put a check in it, where is says, show your email address.  Save and you should be good to go.  Feel free to leave a comment below to test it out and see if it works. 

But in case I've completely confused you, head over here!  :)

I love being able to respond back and forth with fellow bloggers and readers.  It's fun and so worth it.
