Now I’m not a blogging expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I have gathered a list of tips I think can be helpful for new bloggers. All of you peeps who’ve been around the blog block already know these, so if you have a quick tip that isn’t listed here, please leave it in the comments for all to see. We welcome the help.

Let’s say you’d like to get responses to your comments, but you really don’t want them going into your personal email box. That’s ok. Just take a minute and set up another email account to use for the comments.

Go back to “Edit Your Profile” in “Dashboard“

Scroll down to “Identity“

Where it says “Email Address“, enter the email box you want the mail to go to.

(or if you don’t have a blog, you’ll find this feature on your google account page.)

Also, where it says “Display Name“, the name you enter will show up as your identity on every comment you leave. For instance, if I enter “Polly”, then that’s what you’ll see when I leave a comment. Well, as rare of a name as I thought Polly was, I’ve already encountered 3 more of them in blogland.

So, I changed my “Display Name” to Polly (at) MakeMineBeautiful. Now the reader knows which Polly I am. And, if I forget to enable my email, they know what blog to find me at.
