Okay so I was looking around blog land today and found some great pointers from Jill at Be Our Best, she had 10 items, but these two really stood out to me. I love the clickable signature, that is just a fabulous idea, but number 1 is my favorite. I absolutely love to reply to all comments, but it's hard some times when you have a 'no-reply' address.
1. Don't be a no-reply comment blogger
Early on when I started blogging, another blogger kindly pointed out that I was a 'no-reply comment blogger'. This meant that when I left a comment on someone's blog, my email address wasn't available to them (not on their blog, but on their email) so they couldn't reply to my comment. All I had to do to rectify this was go into your dashboard, click on edit profile, then check the box that says 'show my email address' then save!
2. Add a clickable signature to your comments
When you leave a comment on someone else's blog, you can also add a clickable link back to your blog so people can easily find you! To do this, just insert your details into this html code and copy and paste to the bottom of your comment: Replace your blog url in the pink part, and where it says your text here - type your blog title or what you want the text to say that people can click on!
You will also need to replace the { and } with < and >
{a href=http://www.beourbest.blogspot.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a}
I wold love you to share any other great blogging tips! xx

My blog suggestion is getting rid of word verification. I think that the word verification just slows down comments. You can change this in your comment settings.
Those are great tips someone shared a while ago and I have always been appreciative. Great post.
I love the clickable signature. I'm going to try that =)
I use the word verification because when I didn't I was getting a lot of spam comments coming through. Though now that I have turned on moderation for comments I should probably get rid of the verification as it really serves no purpose since I have to check each comment first anyhow. Thanks Donnie!
check and check! =) you and I are such pros! <3 love you tammy!!!! I just got something in the maiiiiilll!!!! haha I wonder what it is?

It's so nice to see the word being spread about these little tips - it took me so long to learn them, and I think it's important to pass the information on to as many people as possible so we can all help and learn from each other!
