Contacting Bloggers

Contacting Bloggers - 07/28/08 02:45 PM

Due to all the Google Alerts I receive, I often read blogs. Many times I thoroughly enjoy what I read, but can't leave a comment because I'm not registered or some other reason. So then I go looking for a way to contact the blogger and can't find a dang way to email them through their blog AND all the links on their blog. I can't tell you how many times this happens. URG. I feel like I'm wasting time.

So I'm ranting a bit, but also want to share that if you blog, please have a VERY VISIBLE CONTACT ME button on the page. You don't want to miss out on hearing from soemone who might want to connect with you for a good reason, but can't. And I know we can Goole their name, their book, etc, but we shouldn't have to do all that. We should be able to hit a contact buootn and be done.

Okay, I'm finished ranting.

Excellent point! I've done the same thing, and it is aggravating.

Good idea, Dotsie. I am going to check my own blog to see if this is a possibility.

I have added my email address to the top of my page, but I do not see a way to add a contact button. Perhaps that goes beyond the freebie type blog?

I see you're using blogspot, so you can be contacted through your 'About Me' profile. I just brought up your email with no problem. I have mine set up so that I'm contacted through a form on a website. That way, my personal email address is not shown.
