Go Do this. Right Now.

Thursday, February 26, 2009

I'm putting on my bossy pants. So y'all better follow along. ;)

1. Open up a new window. That's Ctrl-N if you're on a PC, Command-N for us Mac girls. Go 'head, I'll wait.

2. Leave one window open to these instructions. Go to your blog on the other window.

3. Click on customize. Click on dashboard in the upper right corner.

4. On the left, next to where your profile picture is, click on Edit Profile.

5. Under Privacy, click "show my email." Under identity, make sure the public email address that you use is there.

6. Save profile.

So what did you just do? You made it so that when you leave a comment on my blog (or anyone's blog) I/they can reply to you. Did you ever notice how when some people comment on your blog you can reply to them, and to others you end up replying to No-Reply-Blogger address?

So, if you've ever wanted to know how to make your email address show on people's comment mail from Blogger, now ya' know.

Yer welcome very much.

I'm done bein' MIss Bossy Pants now.

  1. Thank you! I'm going to post this on my site. I hate when I get the no-reply blogger. So frustrating when you're trying to respond to a comment. Thank you!

  14. I did everything you said, but It was already taken care of. I though you had found a super easy way of backing up my blog. :)

  15. I completely agree! Nothing more annoying than replying to "no-reply@blogger.com" ESPECIALLY when they ask a question!!!!

  19. Hi, Miss Bossy Pants - after I get some sleep I am going to try to remember to come back and copy this post!
    I found you through your hubby's photography - I love your blog. Thanks - and come visit! Better off, let's see if I followed your directions correctly. Reply! LOL - there's more than one woman who can wear those pants.

  22. ok, I followed your bossy pants directions, but I was all set. Good thing I checked or I would have felt guilty for not listening to orders. :)

  23. Done. And it's Control-T for Firefox. (Sorry, but the Ctrl-N/Command-N thing confused me for a few seconds, and Firefox is getting more popular.)
    ReplyDelete
  24. Thanks for clearing all that up for me!
    ReplyDelete
  26. Who knew? I sure didn't. Thanks for the info. I already fixed it.

  27. You have revolutionized my life, yet again. Because of you, I no longer have word verification on my blog, and now I know why I don't get replies to my comments. Duh.

    Thank you again, you rock, Mrs. Bossypants. :)
    ReplyDelete
  28. Yay! Thank you for being bossy. Hee, hee. :)
    ReplyDelete
  29. Thank you dear. That was helpful
    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh I love this! I need to get my readers to do this too!

  31. Hey Darc! Thanks for saying "Hey!" and "Congrats!" on my blog. I still peek in on you weekly, and now that I have a boybarian of my own, I'll be watching you... okay, that sounds spooky.

    So, am I a total dork if I can't figure out how to reply to commenters on my blog? I get replies all the time from others, but I can't seem to figure it out myself. Is it just because those peoples don't have their emails updated?
    Anywho, you Rock, as always.
    ReplyDelete
  32. Hooray! This is such an important and valuable bossy PSA! Thank you. Drives me crazy when the email's not there.

    You're the best, Darcy! :D

  34. OMG!!! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Somehow to tell my readers to do this. Would you mind if I shared this on my blog?
    ReplyDelete
  35. Done!

    Thanks for the tip, just started blogging a couple of weeks ago - but have been reading/commenting for awhile. I have been one of those frustrating commenters:/
