After some three years of blogging I still come across several bloggers that don't use a comment reply for receiving an email when someone has commented. Or for receiving emails from other bloggers for further interaction. So let's go over these COMMENTS + REPLY SETTINGS.
When hovering with the mouse over a blogger's name in a comment email sent out by Blogger, you may find the following: CTRL + click to follow link: mailto:noreply-comment@blogger.com
This means it is a DEAD END! Emails cannot be received; they will come back to you as being not deliverable. This is not a good thing for bloggers.
So first I will show you how to solve this problem.
Go to Design and click Settings. Select Mobile and email.
Put your email address in the box where I marked with yellow.
Another tip for using Email posts to is helpful for times when you accidentally delete your post or something goes wrong. If you email it to yourself, you still got the entire blog post ready for posting again instead of re-writing it entirely.
Good habit is for exporting your blog from time to time and saving it on your PC. See link below post with updated info.
In order to receive email notification of a reply email to your comments, you first must do the above step of COMMENT NOTIFICATION EMAIL.
You have seen this type of Comments where you can reply to any other blogger or reply to any question, whatsoever.
To do this you have to change a few settings which I show you below in 2 steps:
1) Go to Design
Click Settings
Click Other
From the Drop down in Allow Blog Feed: select Full
2) Go to Settings
click Posts and comments
From the Comment Location drop down window select Embedded.
YOU ARE ALL DONE!
All you need to do when leaving a comment in the comment box, in order to receive an email about a reply, click on Subsribe by email as circled red below my comment box.
In order to receive email updates when someone comments on your blog post, you must first set your COMMENT NOTIFICATION EMAIL, shown at the very top in first how to.
This Subsribe by email is NOT to subscribe to the blog itself! Only to this very post for receiving follow up comments!
SIMPLE but very functional.
Far better than having to go back to the other blogger's post for finding out if there was a reply.
Try it out yourself.

Hi! Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteI hope your today's post will help others a lot, my friend♪♪♪
As I have another things I'd like to know, I've visited the professional who helped me to make my background when I started blog today(^^;)
He said that the problem is the template (html) and he would try help me. I don't know if the noreply thing will get rectify or not. But I had nice time learning some things today, hehe.
Thank you very much for everything, my dear friend♡♡♡
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Ciao cara,
ReplyDeletegrazie per i tuoi consigli,sono molto preziosi!!
Non so come sta la mia di impostazione!!
Se devo cambiarla!!
Un bacio e buona giornata!!
Sabry!!
Ik vind het reply op je eigen blog niet zo leuk.....als ik wil antwoorden doe ik dat op de blog van diegeen die wat heeft gezegd...voor haar ook leuk nl.....anders blog je echt voor jezelf ....en kom je nooit bij die ander langs.....of zie ik het verkeerd ??...groetjes fijn weekend...liefs Ria...xxx...
ReplyDeleteBeste Ria,
DeleteJij hebt je blogger ook op noreply-comment staan. Níemand kan je ooit bereiken via email met een vraagje over je verkoop of wat dan ook.
Tuurlijk kom je bij die ander maar de discussie over bepaalde onderwerpen is interessanter voor iedereen om meer erover te lezen.
Liefs,
Mariette
En weet je als je op een blogpost ben geweest dan kom je toch niet meer terug ....??...maar dan bij de volgende weer ?...groetjes Ria..xxx..
ReplyDeleteKíjk, dát is nu net de REDEN omdat je niet terug komt. Tenminste ik niet, je hebt wel wat anders te doen. Zo krijg je vanzelf een bericht per email. Dàt is de logica die erachter zit.
DeleteLiefs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteI still remember that your help me August 22.2011. I am bad time with now that is how I can keep it up..

Hugs and love to you always!

Great tutorial! You are so wonderful to take the time and explain this. Happy week-end ... hugs to you both..xo C. (HHL)
ReplyDeleteI've just been trying to catch up with blog reading. I like the way you framed the cherub filet crochet. I definitely need some powerful readers when I am doing any sort of stitchwork -- which is why I pretty much stick with crochet with yarn (not thread). Have a wonderful weekend. Tammy
ReplyDeleteDone! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this.
Bonjour Mariette,
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial. I've done all those steps in the past, but for some reason your comments still won't let me answer back. I did send you an email the other day! Hope you have a good weekd,
Mimi
