Dont Be A No-Reply Blogger! [Blogger Series]

My good friend, Tygre, from high school recently started a family blog (yay.. and welcome!) and said I should write a “Blog Tutorial”. I think its a great idea and Im happy to share what I know with others. Im not an expert but I have picked up a few tips that make life alot easier. So, Im going to start a mini series with some bloggy tutorials.

Hoooray!

Today’s tutorial is super easy and it will make a huge difference. Huge difference in what? In getting replies! There are two ways that a person can reply to a comment on blogger.. through email or by hitting reply under the original comment.

The first one (through email) is the best way to send a reply because it goes directly to the persons email. Its faster and much more streamlined. If you are a ‘Noreply-comment’ blogger then we have to reply to your comment thread. This isnt a bad thing but it takes longer to reply. And if your waiting for a reply you have to check back and see if the blogger took the time to reply on their site. (Im horrible about this!)

Im going to show you how to change this using the new blogger interface. If you have questions about the old interface let me know and Ill direct you through.

First, click on the drop down button in the top right corner on your main blogger screen. This is what you will see. Click on ‘Blogger profile’.

Then click ‘Edit profile’. Just like the fun picture says.

See that little box next to ‘Show my email address’? Make sure theres a little check mark next to it. And while your on this screen double check that your email is correct. Thats where all your replies will go.

Click ‘Save profile’.

And wait for the comments to come rolling in! Cause they will.. promise. Especially if you comment on one of my posts. I tend to go comment crazy and sometimes (ok.. alot of the time) start great email conversations through replies. (Its how Ive made such great bloggy friends!)

Hope this tutorial helps ya! Ill have another one next Thursday. This is a new series so if there is something in the blog world that you’d like me to cover, let me know!

Happy blogging friends!

Hey Sarah, I was wondering the same thing…I also upgraded to Google+ and have been going through their Help section, and I'm still uncertain. Also, I'm trying to figure out how some friends come in as a “noreply” when they commented using their Google+. If you or anyone has figured this out, or have new tips/tricks, I'd be very grateful to hear them 🙂
