FINALLY A SOLUTION TO GET YOUR COMMENTS IN YOUR EMAILS !!

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T GET COMMENTS IN THEIR EMAILS Andrew from Highriser has found the solution and it works !!

Open you blog dashboard, that is where the compose button sits and all those buttons are on the left, along with the list of your posts, published and drafts. Go down to Settings and click, then Email. If you were receiving emails of blog comments, your email address will be there in the box next to 'Comment notification email'. Delete your email address within the the box and at the top right, click 'Save Settings'. It has been suggested that you should close down and restart your computer. Do so if you wish.

Then, go back to where you were at, Settings/Email and add your email address to the box 'Comment Notification Email' and again click Save Settings.You will receive an email and within the email there are two options. Select 'Subscribe'. Voila, you will now receive an email when someone comments on your blog. It may take a little time to start working though.

In my case it worked immediately !

PLEASE PROVE YOU ARE NOT A ROBOT

One day Blogger's big boss called for a meeting, because he got more and more spams on his blog.



He asked his managers if they had an idea what to do to make comments more difficult. They discussed and discussed and their tongues became dry. Big Boss ordered drinks for everybody as refreshments. They all were very happy about that and drank and drank and finally one had a wonderful idea !

"We only have to change "Word Verification" into "Please prove you're not a Robot", he said and everybody agreed !



he quickly wrote down the words he had in mind,



before he fell over the table in his glass and started to snore. The others found the above note under his right hand !

They looked at it and found it perfect ! Only one suggested sheepish "Isn't this a little difficult, even for a Robot ?" Nobody listened to him, and therefore we all have now to prove that we are human beings and not robots, if we want to leave a comment !

COMMENTS ON COMMENTS ?

This week I had made a comment on a blog with a question. According to silent Blogger rules, the blogger I had visited should now come to my blog, look at what I have to show and tell, make a comment and at the same time could also answer my question. That's what I usually do when there is no email, but I have an email which I made public for this purpose. That's at least how it was when I started blogging.

Now to my surprise instead of answering my question I get an email telling me that the answer is in the blog comments to which I should go back to read the answer. (why make it simple if you can make it complicated) I thanked for the email and said that I never go back to a blog once I made my comment. How could I, if I don't want to spent 24 h to check out if I got comments on my comments, answer new comments on my blog, prepare quickly a post to be published and start again to see if there are answers on my comments on the new posts.

Only the thought of it makes me dizzy and I need my calculator. Imagine I get 30 comments per day, that means that I have to visit 30 blogs, otherwise it wouldn't be polite. I make my 30 comments on the 30 Blogger's posts. I am not a marathon commenter, and like to read what people write especially when it is interesting. Making appropriate comments takes time. If you copy and paste your comments everywhere it takes of course less time.

And I too have to prepare a new posts.

Since a little while some bloggers created real forums on their blogs and you can spend the whole day there to comment on comments and recomment on comments and rererecomment etc. Instead of making my 30 visits I would have to make 60, I have to go back to all 30 blogs to see if there is any answer or comment on my comment. Meanwhile there are again 30 comments which makes 90 comments and then I have to go back to see if there are comments on my comments which makes 120 comments on comments, and probably I didn't even calculate correctly !

Now the question is how many hours has a day ? When do I have the time to read the new comments if I have to check my old comments to see if there is an answer comment ??

I get lost. I avoid to ask a question and even if I do, I don't go back to see if there is an answer or not. To me this is no blogging anymore. If I want to have written conversations I would subscribe in a Forum.

On top of all this, there is also the time difference. When I get up it's tea time in Australia and the Americans are in bed or at least should be. We are not on our computers at the same time. Maybe I should consider to put an alarm clock to wake me up so that I can see if I got a comment on a comment I made the day before ?
