Using Blogger - Getting Comments?

I noticed that a lot of my classmates in EME6414 are also using blogger to generate a blogspot for the class blogging requirement. I already tweeted about this earlier in the week, but I wanted to elaborate.

So I have been using blogger for years for different blogs, but never really shared links or advertised the posts before. You can imagine that I never really got any comments. After posting for this class I was shocked to find out that I had four comments for my first post. I totally discovered this by accident when checking out my own blog. I did not automatically get a notification! 

I figured out that I have to manually set blogger to email me a notification - this was not automatic. And it wasn't intuitive to me when looking for the settings. I first looked under Comments - nope! This is what you do:

1. Go to your Blogger dashboard, then click on Settings.
2. Next, click on Mobile and email.
3. That's where you can set an email address for comment notification. Notice, you can set more than one.

I hope this helps someone. :)
