I don't usually respond on Sweet Bean Gardening to your amazing comments, since Blogger doesn't offer (yet?) a fantabulous feature like ReplyMe, which emails you when I respond to your comment here.
If you leave a comment, I mentally sing my little Frere Jacques comment song and then go visit your blog. (Okay...sometimes I sing it out loud, too). But if you ask an intense gardening question like say, how does Zelda maintain her blueberrry mole?, it's a little odd to leave the answer in the comments on your post about Composting 101.

But if you have displayed your email address, then I can just email you Zelda's beauty secrets!
But more often that not, this is what shows up:
noreply-comment@blogger.com
Which means I can't contact you! Boo!
I thought my email address was displayed on my Blogger profile until I read Hartwood Rose's helpful post about how to set your email address up for receiving replies. Here's how to change your settings:
1. Go to your Blogger profile and click "Edit Profile."
2. Check the box that says "Show my Email Address."
3. Scroll down a little to the Identity box and enter in the email you'd like to receive replies at. You don't have to use your personal email address...it's very easy to set up an email just for your blog. :)
4. Scroll down just a little and click on Save Profile.
Easy peasy! Your email will NOT be plastered all over the comments, but now that pesky "no-reply" email will be gone and I can email you Zelda's top-secret-mole-maintenance routine.
I really do love hearing your comments - I have learned so much from you all - and relish the freedom to give a personal reply in thanks! :)
AMEN!!! I love to get into email exchanges with anyone who reads my blog and takes the time to leave a comment or question. I think of it like sending a thank you note for a gift ... because comments really are a gift.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Zelda is looking particularly lovely today.
I love that photo!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend ~ FlowerLady
Hanni, you're brilliant! Thanks for passing this information along. That Zelda sure is a charmer...
ReplyDeleteYou are such a creative person! And your step-by-step instructions are great! That would be helpful if Blogger would add a ReplyMe function. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteLove your cheery vegetable faces!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I added an email to my profile. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHave you checked out Google Plus?
Is there ever going to be an upgrade to Blotanical?
So many features, so little time....
Thanks for the tip! I have updated my profile now too. I too wish there was a reply function in blogger. I am technologically challenged at times. How did you create the tabs to create layers within your blog? I have wanted to do that but can't figure it out.
ReplyDeleteHanni,
ReplyDeleteHi, on Angel's blog, Angel Turned Blogger, you can check the "email follow up comments" box when commenting. I don't know what her setting are, but you could ask her. I always enjoy reading your helpful insights.
