Talking Back: Blog Comments

 

One of my favorite parts of blogging is the comments I get from readers.  It’s fun to know that you really exist and I’m not just writing to myself.  I feel like we’re friends.

This may not be news to some of you, but I just learned that I could add a “reply” option in the comment section.  I never knew this was available through Blogger.  This is great because I can respond directly under your comment when you ask a question, say something funny, tell me I’m crazy, etc.  Right now, all of the comments come into my inbox, but I can’t always reply if your profile isn’t linked to an email address.  (Cassie did a great post on how to correct this, if you want to.)

If you use Blogger and want to add the reply option to your comments, this article will help.

 

I’m hoping to stay in touch better through the comment section.  Between blogging and diaper changing, I don’t always have the time to answer all of the questions I get through email.  It makes me feel a little guilty, but my kids would like me to do other things—like fix dinner—and I know my busy reader friends totally get it.

 

And, just in case I don’t say it enough, I’m thankful for each of you who are faithful to read my blog every day—and for those of you who take the time to comment.  It makes all of the time I spend in front of this computer—and some late nights—worth it for me :)
