Get an email when you get a comment

A couple people have asked me how to do this. You've got your blog, people are leaving comments but you often don't notice until days or weeks after and you don't like that. You can set up your blog to send you an email when someone leaves a comment. Here's how:

1. Sign into your blog
2. click on "Settings"
3. click on "Comments"
4. scroll down to the line that says "comment notification address" enter the email address you want to receive a notification email at
5. click "save settings"

You'll receive an email each time you get a comment.

comment management

I noticed some of our participants are having problems with spam comments on their blogs. You can help prevent this by turning "word verification"

1. Sign into your blog



2. Go to your "dashboard"



3. click on the "settings" tab



4. click on "comments"



5. scroll down



6. where it says "show word verification for comments" select "yes"



7. scroll to the bottom of the page and save settings

While you're on that page you can also enter an email address so that you'll recieve an email when someone leaves a comment on your blog. Be sure to save settings when done
