So, odds are if you don't know whether or not you're a "No Reply" blogger, YOU ARE. Don't worry... all of us had to be told to go fix this little situation at one point or another in our blogging lives. The majority of bloggers receive their blog comments via email so that responding to comments and questions is much easier. This way, all we have to do is click "Reply" and shoot them an email instead of going back to our blog, finding their comment, clicking into their blogger profile, clicking into their blog and either a)commenting on a post with a response that has nothing to do with said post or b)searching for a contact button.
Lately, I've been getting lots of new commenters who ask questions that I'd like to respond to via email, but when I click "reply" in my inbox to answer their question instead of there being an email address I can send the response to... it says "NoReply@blogger.com" WOMP WOMP WOMP! So, if you think this might be you, then let's get that pesky problem fixed!
Head over to your blogger dashboard & click into your User Profile. See your itsy bitsy profile picture & username with an arrow up at the top right of your screen? That's a quick way to get to your User Profile. Click the arrow and choose "Blogger profile". You will be taken to this screen...
Click "Edit Profile" & you will be taken to this screen...
Click "Show my email adress" in the Privacy section & enter your email address in the Identity section.
Then scrolllllllll down & CLICK SAVE!
Bing Bang Boom, you are no longer a "no reply" blogger! I bet you will start getting a lot more responses from comments you've left now!
And all this time, I never knew I was a noreply blogger. Thanks for the tip! Glad I found your cute blog
