A Comment About Comments
However--and stay with me here--there are way too many of you to count who are pissing me straight off!
Many of you will leave a comment with a question or a funny remark or just a great compliment about my beauty, to which I'd love to respond back, but I can't. Why not? Because you're not leaving an email for me to do so. And it just killsssssssssssssssssssss me!!
Sure, I might have a link to your blog in the comment, and I might even visit your blog (which I do quite often), but I'm probably definitely not gonna seek out your email from there to write you back. I got stuff to do! Instead, I hit "reply" to the email your comment comes to me as and am either able to write you back directly or am met with some no-reply Blogger email that will be sent into a great abyss, never to be seen or heard from again, like Lindsay Lohan's career.
I'm not suggesting you put your email address in the comment itself (what are you, a n00b?). It's an easy fix, really. If you have a Blogger or Google account, all you have to do is include your email account on your profile page. Not sure if you've done this? Just check out your blogger profile and see if it says "Email" underneath your picture, like so:
If not, then update it. No, really, it IS that simple!
I swear, if you start doing this, I will write you back so hard. It will totally be worth it. Think of it as your own custom blog post. What's NOT to love, am I right?

thank you on behalf of the blogging community.
end scene.
I seriously can't believe that ALL bloggers haven't gotten this through their pretty little heads yet. I mean, I've seen SO many posts about this topic and there are still so many who haven't changed that. It's so freakin' annoying!!!
But I'm awesome because I do give you my email :)
After reviewing the comments section from the "those f***ing yoga pants!" post yesterday, I can't help but feel today's post is directed my way.
I'm ashamed and embarrassed.
I don't have a Blogger account! And I can never seem to get the Wordpress login to work.
I shall try a different approach. A thousand pardons. :)
"like Lindsay Lohan's career" hahaha. You are hilarious. And totally right about this. I can't even tell you how many times I've started writing back to someone, happy to answer their question, and bam... the noreplyblogger. Not cool.
Thanks for posting. It still bafffles me that people don't know about the clever lil email box.
Have a great day!
Totes!!!! There are whole tutorials based on how to do it.... Get with it ppl!!!!!
I feel like this post is a direct slap in my face. But it's okay. But can you tell me if I did it right!?!?

My Bloggie!
This just made my day…and I have to say it was a seriously nice welcome to your blog. I just hopped over from Ashlyn's after reading about her DC blog blitz and my jealousy cup hath runneth over.
p.s. You ARE pretty. ;)
I come here exclusively for your genius writing style, and this is a perfect example :D
That and you're funny. And pretty. And LOVE cupcakes.
