Are You a No-Reply Blogger?

I love that whenever one of my fabulous blog readers leaves me a comment it comes straight to my e-mail inbox. I like to reply to all of my comments via e-mail, but if you’re a No-Reply blogger your comments have to be responded to on the blog post instead.

What the heck does that mean, you ask? A No-Reply blogger means that when you leave a comment and it comes to my e-mail, I reply to it and that e-mail I send ends up in a big black hole somewhere in the universe instead of right back to you. Bummer deal.

Luckily this is a very easy fix! And honestly, you don’t even have to fix it if you don’t want to. But if you’re expecting a response to your comments, you’ll want to fix it to ensure you get a response. For comments from No-Reply bloggers, I respond directly under the comment on the blog post, but you don’t see the response unless you keep checking back to see if I’ve responded yet. And that’s just a pain for you!

The first thing to do is figure out if you’re a No-Reply blogger:

• Leave a comment on your own blog.
• Check your e-mail to see if you received the comment.
• Check to see who the e-mail is from. If you see your e-mail address, you’re good to go! If it says “noreply-comment@blogger.com” you are a No-Reply blogger.

If you have a Google+ profile, follow steps 1-8.
If you have a blogger profile, follow steps 4-6.

Step 1:  Go to your blogger dashboard

• Click on the gear in the upper right corner.
• Choose “Revert to Blogger Profile” (This is just a temporary change)

Step 2: Switch your profile

• Click on “Switch to a limited Blogger profile”

Step 3: Confirm your profile

• Fill in “Display Name” 
• Click “Continue to Blogger”

Step 4: Go back to Blogger dashboard

• Click on your name in the upper right corner.
• Select “Blogger Profile” in the drop down box.

Step 5: Edit your profile

• Click “Edit Profile” in the upper right corner.

Step 6: Changing email settings

• Check the box “Show my email address”
• Click “Save Profile” at the bottom of the page.

Step 7: Switching back to Google+

• Go back to your blog’s dashboard.
• Click on “Google+”
• On the next page click on “Upgrade to Google+”

Step 8: Connect to Google+

• Check the box at the bottom of the page.
• Click “Switch Now”
