Community Service Announcement: No-reply bloggers

Blogger may have changed some of its settings because there are a LOT of 'no-reply' bloggers out there. Meaning you can comment but can't be replied to. Major pain if you win a giveaway... The new blogger interface makes it a bit trickier to fix now - all the tutorials I found were for the old interface - so here are the steps.

1. Go to Design View of your blog (where you start a new post)
2. Find your picture/icon/name in the top right corner and click the little DOWN arrow next to it.
3. Blogger profile
4. Edit profile
5. Show my email address - make sure this is ticked.

You're done! Your email will now show up on comments you make, but only to the person you are commenting to. If Andrea, Andri, Barb, Jeneta or a host of others want to test it out and comment, we'll see if it works!

Scroll down to the next post for the giveaway!

  1. I got your comment on my blog about my email bouncing back. Not sure if it was just a glitch or what, emailed a test message from another account and it went through fine. Thanks for the helpful post :)

  5. Good for you, keeping the community up and running. And, what will blogger change tomorrow? Somehow they can't seem to leave things alone!

  7. Just going to comment to make sure that when you click on my link my email is there - it seems like it is, but checking can't hurt! :)

  8. A while back I figured out that when I linked my Google + profile, it messed up my non-reply...so I had to unlink it to work. Maybe that is happening for others?

  9. THANKS! I think mine is fine, but couldn't find where it lets me change it.

Yippee - you're commenting! I _love_ comments. :) I've had so much spam lately though that I'm limiting to registered users for a bit to see if that works... If you're a friend, you can find me on Facebook and comment that way if you have trouble.
