Cry for Help!
So, I'm normally really good with teaching myself how to use new computer programs and up until recently I would have said I'm pretty web savvy. But now, I'm crying "Uncle" and admitting I need help. For the life of me I cannot figure out a good way to respond to comments left on this here blog. It really means so much to me when folks stop by to read my ramblings and I want to be able to say "Thank You!" and respond to the great stories, or just kind comments that you leave. So, for anyone who is familiar with blogger, How is the heck do I respond to comments!?

That is weird, isn't it. You think it would be something easy or obvious. If anyone else knows, do share! I can sometimes click through their user name and find their blogger profiles and sometimes they have a public email address, but if not you can't really contact them. You can also just go to their blog and leave a comment, but that's not very direct. Or I've seen people respond to comments with another comment in their own comment section but it seems unlikely that anyone would see that comment except other commenters.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, I'm no help.
this frustrates me too. i just try to respond to comments that have an email address attached. or like the other commenter, try to find an email addy via their profile or blog. if not, i figure they'd rather not be contacted. i wish blogger would fix this tho. love your blog and designs, btw. not sure if i've said hi before :)
ReplyDeletethere is a way...but I don't know how! Sorry!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered, too. I know some people email me, but that's a few. Then some just comment on their commments, which I have done. No help here, either.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes comment on the comments.. or click on thier name and click on thier e-mail if they have one... and if all else fails I will follow them back to thier blogs and comment on thier blog and thank them for leaving a lovely comment on mine.
ReplyDeleteif that makes any sense what so ever. Though I don't get all that many comments anyway, but its the thought that counts,

ReplyDeleteI hope this helps. It's under help at top, then search comments. I have mine set to send email when I get a comment. Then I can reply directly to them through email. Sometimes though there is just a no-reply address. Then I go to their page.
I liked reading your blog. Found through the Spoonflower email.
It is rather interesting for me to read the blog. Thanx for it. I like such themes and anything that is connected to them. BTW, why don't you change design :).
