How to get your email sent with your Blogger blog comments

I've been curious - and had several others ask me also - how to get my email address to show up as the "from" address when blogger emails my comments to the owners of a blog. Well, I've finally found out, so I wanted to share.

Go to your Blogger "dashboard". On the lefthand side it should say "edit profile" -- click there and then under privacy it should say "show my email address." All you have to do is click the checkbox, and when you comment on someone's blogger blog, your own email will be the "from" address instead of the default "noreply-comment@blogger.com" or whatever it is. Then it is much easier for people to reply to you through email if you have a question or want to chat with them about something.

Now of course, that means the person whose blog you are commenting on has to have it set that they receive comment notifications in their inbox, which not all people do. Also, they now have your email address, which you may not want that public. But it works for me - I typically only comment on people's blogs who I have known for awhile and hopefully never say anything bad enough to cause me to worry that they have my email address! :)

Hope this helps someone.
