Are You a No- Reply Blogger?

I think we all have left a comment on someone's blog and then never hear back. I don't always remember where I left a comment....you just hope for the best.

Have you ever considered that these bloggers tried to get in touch with you but couldn't?

Some of you might have added your email to your blogger profile but you can only get it if they click on your profile....and many won't go in that trouble. Some of you might not even have that option.

There is a simple little box in your profile that is "unchecked" right now....check it and you'll get answers!!!



1.) Go on Blogger....see your picture in the top right?



2.) Click on Your name and go to >Blogger Profile<

Now you see your public profile...

3.)Click on the >Edit Profile< button.

 
Now look at the second box.... if it's empty than you are a no-reply blogger...
4.) .Check the box and people can easily respond to your comments.



If you fixed your profile write a comment and I will let you know if it works.....check your email.








PS....if you want your readers to know about this, just copy and paste this tutorial.....give credit to The Blue Birdhouse..... and let your readers check if they are no-reply bloggers!

  4. Super helpful tip! Someone told us recently that we were no reply, but I honestly didn't really know what they meant! I do now! :) Thank you! Stopping by from SITS.

  6. Very helpful! I used to be no reply, and luckily I managed to fix it around the same time I joined SITS. It's eye opening!

  8. Hello I just found your blog on Women Living Well. I just fixed my account because it did not have a check mark next to it. Thank you so much for the helpful information. I will pass it on to others and send them back to your blog. Have a wonderful weekend and God bless.

  10. Thanks- I think I should be reachable now through my Google Plus account. I have to maintain anonymity because I foster children, and that is VERY tough to do with Google these days. The Internet is SO connected. But I think I have managed it? Thanks for the advice!!

  12. I'm going to check on this right now! The only reason I have a Blogger account is to make it easier to comment on Blogger blogs! I should probably make sure it's friendly. Thanks for the reminder!

  17. I can't believe how many people still haven't done this. It can get so frustrating when I try to reply. Thanks for spelling it out so clearly.

  19. If you're a WordPress user, you can install a nifty little plug-in called 'Comment Reply Notification' which will send an email notice when to reply to a comment. I love this feature and enjoy hearing back from my other favorite blogs this way.

  22. When I go to Blogger only my Google profile shows up. It doesn't look like your screen. I think I am missing something.

    1. That is because you connected your blogger with your Google+ .....that way you'll always be a "no-reply" blogger. Kinda dumb if you ask me but that is how it is. The only way you can change being a "no-reply" blogger is by going back to the blogger layout.

      Just google it....there are quite a few tutorials out there that explain how to go back to blogger and then change to a reply blogger. ☺

      Hope this helped!

    2. I could not agree more! Tried your tutorial, but since it's connected to Google+ wouldn't let me. I don't know why it makes you a no-reply blogger if you connect your profile to Google+--I agree, kinda dumb!

  23. I *think* mine is okay. I guess you'll let me know! :)

  24. Happy SITS day! I think I fixed this a few months ago. You'll let me know?
