That's What Friends Are For

Did everyone else sing that song at the end of summer camp? Or was it Friends are Friends Forever? I'm getting my cheesy friendship songs confused; pardon emoi.

So, let's play out a scenario here. You get a friend request from a long lost {or semi- close for one sememster in college} friend on Facebook. You accept the request and are excited to see how this person is doing { if they have gained weight, gotten past that weird mole thing on their face and possibly started showering }. Only, you can't e-mail them or write on their wall. You want to tell them that your mutual friend is having a baby next week or that you just saw their mom getting her eyebrows waxed {praise the Lord!}, but you can't because of this lack of communication. You know they want to talk to you, but you have no way to get in touch with them.

This is where I stand with comments section on this blog. I'm about 2 cheesy 80s song references away from making it mandatory to enter your e-mail with your comment. I don't want people NOT to comment, but I want to reply back to you! I want to know you and tell you that your joke was funny and figure out how our mamas met at a garage sale or bunko, etc.

So, here is a quick tutorial on how to do such.

This is of such importance that I will now ask you to stop your blog cruising for 5 whole seconds and attend to this matter. All the blogs you frequent and {*gasp*} comment on will be thankful forever and ever, amen.

Step 1:
Go to your blogger Dashboard {it appears after you sign in} and click Edit Profile. It's right beside your picture. What? No picture?? Oh, my friend. We want to see you, too!


Step 2:
Click the little box that is the 3rd option down that asks if you want to show your e-mail address. Yes. You should. If you are commenting on a blog, then you should want to show your e-mail address for the love of Pete. Come out of the bloggy closet!

I didn't notice this whilst going wild with the pink paint brush, but you also should fill in the blank for the 2nd option under identity with your e-mail contact info. This will show your e-mail address when a comment shows up in the blog owners inbox. This is the easiest and most preferred way of getting back to you.


Even if you don't have a blog, you should do this.
Even if I already know your e-mail address, YOU should do this.
Even if you are still humming Friends are Friends Forever, YOU SHOULD DO THIS- especially you. You need a little pick me up after that song.
You're welcome.
