Answering Comments

I sometimes receive responses by email when I post a comment on someone's blog.  I would love to be able to do that, but quite frankly..... I don't know how!  I've checked my settings and couldn't see where I could change something to enable that...
Anyway, I do want everyone to know that I appreciate your comments and I do read them and if you can offer some advice of what I need to do to be able to respond to your comments personally, that would be great!

I have the same problem. I feel like the nice people who comment think I am awful. Just wanted you to know your not alone and I dont hear from you I will understand.

Hi Katie - I'm no expert on all things computer - but I AM able to respond to comments left on my blog. One setting that might "fix" your problem is on your Dashboard - Settings - Comments.

Try setting your "Comment Moderation" to "Always" - and put your email contact address in the box. See if that helps.

All comments left on my blog do not publish automatically - they go to my email first. From there I can publish them - or reply - or both. And my replies DO NOT get published on my blog - I have to leave my own comment to do that.

Does that make sense?

My replies DO NOT publish automatically either - I have to leave my own comment to do that.
