I just wanted to thank all of you for being so good to me with your kind comments. I was recently made aware of an awesome feature on blogger (not sure if WP or other host sites have something similar or not) where you can allow your email address to link to your comments.
My good friend Beckie from Infarrantly Creative…LOVE HER…recently shared with me how to connect your email to your comments.
When your email is not connected, I cannot reply to your comments and I get this address: [email protected].
With your email connected it will allow me, or your other blog friends, to respond directly to your comments. This feature saves a lot of time and allows me to reply to your comments and questions directly rather than having to leave it in comment form on my blog. As the number of comments and emails I receive continue to increase, not a bad thing mind you, I struggle with trying to get around to responding to each and every one of you and your comments. This would make it much easier and faster for me :)!
So…if you are interested…can you do me a favor and add this little feature? It just takes a few minutes and some simple changes!
All you have to do is go into your Blogger Dashboard and find where you can “edit your profile” near the top and click on it. Then find the section “show my email address” and check the box.
Once you do that people can directly respond back to your comments. Your email will not be visible in the comment section for others on my blog to see. It will only be visible to me when I click reply to respond to your comments. And I will not share them with anyone else. This will also make it so if you enter a giveaway you will not have to leave your email address in the comments for others to see.
If you do not wish to do this, no worries, if I find you comment and I can’t reply then I will still reply in comment form on the post itself. I will also continue to answer questions that I think others may want the answer to on the post as well.
Does that make sense? Thanks all!
And because every post needs a picture…I hope your having a fun and safe summer! I can’t believe school is right around the corner! I must admit…having a schedule again will be nice…but I do like having these kids around!

Great – thanks for the tip. I've just done it!

That definitely is a great tip.:) I actually just added email notification for comments so that I can respond to more of them. Great blog by the way. And sorry about the sour-pusses the other day regarding your silly putty post. I think you're doing fine. :)
Thanks for posting this! I get sad when I can't respond to someone's comment because I can't find their email. I hope others follow your lead!
It makes me smile that you feel this way. Seems so many moms are anxious to get kids back to school. Before you know it they will be gone :( The big pay off is they share their kids now:D
I left a post on Facebook! Please enter me in the Silhouette drawing!
I couldn't agree more – this is my favorite thing in blogger because I hate when I can't respond to someone's comment. Not that I don't enjoy going back to another person's blogs but when I am not at my computer, I can't do anything. Great tip!
I just went and changed that on my profile. I had no idea that was an issue. Thanks for your advice!!
This is totally about another post, but…..I am making an organization magnetic board similar to the one you made with different sections for each member. How wide are each of your sections? I've played with different widths, but am a little paranoid about making them too small…….Thanks
Thanks for the tip! I have to say, I love pictures in posts, as well. Annnnd, your kids are all so gorgeous…I really enjoy your photos of them. Their eyes are beautiful!
Thank you for this tip. It was just today that I was wondering how to do this.
Thank you for the tip. I am new at blogging, and commenting on blogs so I have a lot to learn:)
Thanks for this post! I will go check right now to see if my email will show.
I really like this blog post, looking forward for more nice post like this
