As you may know, last week this blog was one of many who were involved with the Sew Mama Sew giveaways. (Debbie M. was the lucky winner.)
As I read every comment, I would then click on the name to see if that person had an email listed.
I wish I had kept track, but LOTS of folks didn't!!
A few years ago, I won a prize on a blog, but unknowingly, I was one of the no-reply bloggers.
The wonderful woman who hosted the giveaway tracked me down on Google+
and wrote a message to me. I looked around on the we for a tutorial to fix it.
I've never had a problem since! (See links below)
- What is a No-Reply Blogger?
- How do I know if I'm a No-Reply Blogger?
- Why does it matter...who cares?
- OK, so how can this be fixed?
I fixed my problem by following this tutorial:
Erin has given me permission to link back to her blog. Check around there and find great ideas!
If you have Google+, this is another great tutorial:
Any questions, ask away! I don't want anyone missing out on any future prizes or comments!

The same thing happened to me back when I started out Kathy. And wow were there a lot during this last giveaway. I think Blogger needs to fix this problem because it seems to be growing. In the meantime, your post will help a lot of people!
ReplyDeleteI love to be able to reply directly to those that take the time to comment on my blog but at least half of them are no-reply bloggers. I've tried and tried to get people to understand, even writing a post about it, and still the trend continues. Thank you for speaking out about it again. Maybe we need a day for all the bloggers to get together and get the word out. I wonder how many we would discover that way?
ReplyDeleteIt's such a frustrating thing, this no-reply blogger nonesense! Thanks for spreading the word! I should renew my post, too, bump it up, try to get the word out...
