How to fix it so I can send you sweet ass email replies to your comments!

Because you can never get too many fun emails from meeeeee!  Lately I've had a lot of new visitors and several fun new commenters here at {So Wonderful, So Marvelous} and I love it.  What I don't love is trying to reply to comments you've made here and getting the dreaded noreply-comment@blogger.com dum dum duuuuummmmm.  Then I have to try to find you and feel like an idiot responding to a question or comment on your blog that has nothing to do with what you're talking about and I want to visit you too but to read what YOU'VE writen not responding to what I've written.  So, in the spirit of bloggy community and all that blah blah blah, I'm going to show you how to fix it if you so choose. Maybe you're a dumbass like I am and didn't even know any of this.  I fixed mine a few months ago and it's amazing how many bloggers can now reach me to follow up with comments and answer questions that I have left on their blogs.  I just thought they were snotty non-aswerers before.
  • You see the little button up there in the right hand corner of Blogger that says Dashboard?  Click on it.
  • Then click on Edit Profile right there next to your picture. {Incidentally, if you don't have a picture, add one so we can all see your pretty mug next to your comments.}
  • Under privacy click the little box that says Show My Email Address.  This doesn't post your email anywhere weird, it just allows bloggers to reply to your comments.
  • If you'd like, {or you can skip this} you can scroll down to the Identity section and change your email address to whatever you'd like or just keep it the same email that you use to log into Blogger.  {So if you're nervous about having your email out there, create an email address that you only use for blogging!}
  • Save your profile!  TA DAAAAA You're done. 
And then I can answer your questions, or say hello and thanks for stopping by, or just tell you that you're a total wanker.  Or mostly, all of the aforementioned things in one pretty package.

Oh, and if you're so inclined and want to read my crazy posting that is never on any kind of schedule and let's face it, you have to deal with my occassional colorful word choices too, click on the RSS link and add me to your Reader.  You can also get an email of the {So Wonderful, So Marvelous} posts by popping your email address into that box over on the right if you're RSS impaired.  No judgement here peeps.  No judgement here.

Happy Thursday!
