Every blogger loves when people comment on their posts, and I am no exception. I love hearing from my readers, and I love responding to their comments. Unfortunately, more often than not, I am unable to reply to my commenters because of them being a "no-reply blogger." It seriously bums me out.
If you are a no-reply blogger, you are missing out on so many opportunities to connect and get to know other bloggers. The good news is, there is an easy fix!
First, you need to figure out if you ARE a no-reply blogger.
Go to the top, right corner of your blogger dashboard and click the arrow to view the drop down menu. If you do NOT see the blogger icon next to the link to your blogger profile, you are in fact a no-reply blogger.
Here's what you can do to fix the problem:
Click on the link to view your blogger profile and then click "Edit Profile" in the top right corner.
The box next to "show my email address" should be checked.
And just like that, you have fixed your no-reply blogger status.
You should start to notice that you are getting many more replies to the comments you are leaving on other blogs, and hopefully you can form more connections with other bloggers.
And I know I will greatly appreciate being able to reply to you comments :)
I just hate the idea that some commenters can't see my responses, so that's why I switched to Disqus. I wish all bloggers would double check to see if they're a no reply blogger!
ReplyDeleteI got it to let me follow today. I couldn't get the blue bar to let me follow it said it "was busy try again later," but the two pink boxes let me click on them and a new window with followers pops up and I could follow there. I have tried to fix me no reply blogger status twice, followed the directions to the letter and it will not fix. I don't know why. Some day I will work on it and it will work. I just keep plugging away.
