I'm Just A Little Blue In The Face

I'm a little blue in the face from having to repeat myself.

"Why and what am I repeating" you ask?

Several gazillion bloggers, including me, ask and beg over and over that you make sure 

you aren't a no reply blogger so we can respond to your comments on our blogs.

We honestly feel bad when we can't thank you for your kind words.

Maybe you don't know what we mean when we use the words 

NO REPLY BLOGGER?

Normally, this is the chain of events that happen after you leave a comment:

When you leave a comment on my blog a copy of your comment goes to my email.

I open the email, read the sweet comment, and hit "reply" to answer your email.

After writing you a message, I then hit "send" and it is on its way to you.

Unless..... 

you are one of the dreaded no reply bloggers and then it goes

no

where

at

all

because there is no email address included.
And you don't get to hear me tell you how wonderful you are.

Maybe you don't know you are a no reply blogger?

Well...

If you never, never, ever get a response to a comment you leave on my blog,

that would more than likely mean you are a no reply blogger.

Hmmm....Sometimes I track down no reply bloggers or I recognize the name and 
have stored the email address so that might make them think they're okay.
Uh-oh! Maybe this enables them so they don't fix it? 

Easy fixes:

~You can leave your email address in your comment. If you're nervous about spammers,
just write your email address like this: myemail at gmail dot com

~Fix your Google+ account. It's given a lot of us a headache because it made us
no reply bloggers without even knowing it.

~Include your email address on your Google+ profile...that helps a little if I go searching for you.

~Make sure "show my email" is checked on your profile settings.

~Google "no reply blogger" to find an answer you like.

Please help me get some color (not blue) back in my face!
