I stumbled across a few posts about no-reply bloggers, so I decided I would write my own post about it. Because it is one of the most frustrating things, ever. Why? Because I cannot respond to your comments if you are a no-reply blogger. If you're not sure what a no-reply blogger is, you're probably one of them!
What is a no-reply blogger?
someone that doesn't have their email address linked to their blog.
example:
Pat is a no-reply blogger.
Pat leaves a comment on my blog. **All my comments go straight to my email**
As I check my email, I want to respond to Pat's comment, but Pat's email says noreply-comment@blogger.com instead of her email address.
Now I cannot respond to Pat's comment.
Not sure if you are a no-reply blogger?
Two simple solutions.
1. Post a comment on this post asking if you are a no-reply blogger, also leave your blog address on the comment. If you are a no-reply blogger, I will contact you via your blog and let you know. If you are not a no-reply blogger, you will get a lovely email response from me.
2. Follow the steps below.
How to fix this problem:
1. Go to your blogger profile. And on the right click on Edit Profile.
2. Find the check box for: Show my email address. {If this box is already checked, you are not a no-reply blogger)
Then fill in your email address as I did below.
4. Your profile should now look like this:
VOILA! You are no longer a no-reply blogger!
Worried about your personal email being out?
You can make yourself a specific email for your blog. Many bloggers do this. Just be sure to check your blog email frequently.
If your profile is Google+ follow these instructions..
1. Click the gear icon under your name.
2. Click Revert to Blogger profile.
3. Switch to a limited Blogger profile.
