No reply ?

Here's something that's been bothering me for a little while, so I thought I'd digress a little and address it today:

Are you a "no-reply comment" blogger ?   

If your answer is a resounding "YES,  and I'm perfectly-happy-with-that-thank-you-very-much" ** , then feel free to read no further, get on with more important matters and carry on with your day. 

If your answer is a definite "NO" , then you may also stop reading, give yourself a little pat on the back, and continue on your merry way.

Thanks for popping by, have a happy day & see you again soon. xx

 BUT . . .

. . . if you've answered  "Hmmm. . . / I'm not sure. . . / Maybe ? / Huh ? / Eh ? / Perhaps. . . / what ya talkin' about "  then please read on . . .

I love it when you pop in to say hello and leave me a little comment, and I would equally love to be able to thank, acknowledge or reply to you - especially if you've asked a question or are a new follower. 

 But oft times, I go to respond by email only to discover that the return address is 

noreply-comment@blogger.com. 
  

We may not even be aware if we're a noreply-commenter or not and I know that I could just reply on my post, but in all honesty, how many of us actually do pop back to see if there's a response to our comments ?  I really like to respond to comments - sometimes life interferes and it's a delayed response, but nonetheless I like to try. 

 After all, some of our best bloggy friendships are kindled from one little comment.  : - )

So, if you're not currently getting any replies to blog comments, and you think you'd like to, then here's how we go about addressing this ?

 It's really oh-so-simple.

The settings are in your Blogger Profile, so sign in & on your dashboard at the top right, click on your little icon.

 Select Blogger Profile, then Edit Profile and tick the little box that says "show email".

Save settings and voila, there you have it . . .

Normal programming will resume soon.

'til next time,

xoxo

**  I know that not all who leave a comment necessarily want or need a response, and I understand and respect that.

ps.  if you're still not sure, or you have a question then just leave me a little comment below and I'll reply here  : - )
