Are You A NoReply Blogger?

I love getting comments from my readers. Some days I will sit and respond to each one as they come in. I get excited when I get that email notification. Sadly, blogger does not have a way of notifying commenters when I or someone else decides to "reply" to their comment.

If you want to see if I have replied to your comment, you have to go back to the post and look. Well, If you are a reply blogger, I can reply to you directly from my email notification. Replies that way do not show up on the actual post comment so its kept between the commenter and the blogger. The choice is yours.

Some of you may not even know if you are a noreply blogger or not. Its a simple setting you need to adjust in blogger. This is totally up to you. These instructions are only good if your using "blogger".

Just go to blogger and click the top right beside your picture and open your blogger profile. Then click edit profile.

Click on " show my email address". It doesnt really show your email address here. 

Scroll all the way down to the bottom and click save. 

Now you will see email under "contact me".

Thats it. Now when you comment, the blogger can respond directly back to you.

Facebook Break

I decided last week that I would take a break from bragbook dramabook Facebook. It was a place where I would escape to for a lot of my time. Wasted time. It was sucking the life out of me. I have deactivated my account, however, I still have the messenger part of it still open for anyone that cares to send me a hello.

I started facebook some years ago as a way to follow my daughter while she was away in college, but she quickly escaped to another form of social media and her page became boring. Later I felt I needed to get on facebook to keep up with what was going on around me through the rest of my friends, family and church group. (or was I just being nosey?)

It seemed like the only thing I saw on Facebook was politics, dog pictures, ads and invites from all these get rich quick parties such as essential oils, lularoo, and plexus to name a few. I was just so tired of it all. There were only a few people that I enjoyed following on facebook and they all know how to reach me outside of it. 

It feels good being away from seeing everyones opinion about crime, politics, and religion. I have better things to do in life. Happier things. 

Will I go back? Not sure yet. This is kind of nice. I have a twitter account I use for any news information and will ocasionally post something thats on my mind. It's not as drama focused as facebook.

Now I can spend more time focusing on my blog and enjoying the happier places and people around me. Maybe now I will finally get my house cleaned up.
