I read all of my comments from my Gmail account. I don't go to my post to read the comments, I assumed that they are all sent to my email account. Well the other day I went into my Gmail account to delete all the spam mail. I do that when I see there are about 500 sitting there. Well it just so happens it was after my Wednesday Hodgepodge and I noticed some comments sitting in my spam mail. Are you kidding me!
So here is what I found out. Gmail sends no-reply comments into spam. They don't send them into my blogger account for moderation or into the blog spam. They do however show up on my post page. These are people who I follow who have a blog but because they are no-reply their comments just go into spam mail.
So I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart if I haven't been over to your blog lately. I had no glue you were visiting me. Not that I wouldn't visit you but I have 1,395 blogs in my reader and sometimes I forgot, especially if you are new to me. So why are you a no-reply? In my opinion I like to comment on every comment I receive. That is how I build my friendship with my fellow bloggers.
Here I am thinking you never come over to visit with me. Did you know that by having your email address available it will not change a thing in your world of emails. You won't start getting a bunch of junk mail. What you will do is get my response to your comment and build a meaningful relationship with me. Doesn't that sound heavenly :)
I will start to go into my comments on my post to make sure I don't miss any of you again. I was never the type of person who only visits those who comment on my post. Do you know what I mean? Heck if that were the case blogging would be so easy for me. It would take me only a short time each day to go over and read those who commented! It's okay if you don't visit me every time I post, I get that, but when you do comment I want to comment back! For those people who actually leave a nice comment but are anonymous I would love to get to know you.
So did you know I have stock in Spam. That's right, I worked for Hormel at a Regional Office back in Oak Brook, Illinois back in the 80's. Before that I worked at the Corporate office for Ace Hardware in Oak Brook, Illinois and of course I spent seven years at Hallmark. I always thought it was kinda cool when people asked me where I worked. It was never some off beat place, it has always been a name that people recognized. Ya, I'm cool like that!
