Contacting me

I have been told that people cannot reply to me because I am a "No Reply" in my Blogger settings. This is because I do not do "mailto:" links anywhere online. More on that later in this paragraph. So, for a way to contact me, I do Contact Forms with a CAPTCHA security code box. I just tested my Email image links on my blogs by sending messages to myself again, and they all went straight to my email account. The reason I do not do "mailto:" links is because there are people out there who seek to do harm to other internet users. My blogs have always allowed comments. Blogger does have spam guard, but sometimes danger can slip through with a free security or even a paid-for security system. My idea is, why make it easier for those who would do harm? Why reveal private info to the whole internet and cost a lot of money to repair your computer? Free contact forms can be found here: Email Me Form.com [not an affiliate link].

I don't really know what is not working for some people, and certainly want everyone to be able to reach me. Remember to always be safe online. Please read my Safe Blogging page. The link is at the top of the screen, along with the other blog pages.

Hi Danice! How funny that you posted this because you left a comment on my blog. I hit reply to visit with you and realized you were a "no reply blogger". So I followed your name to your profile and came across 7 blogs! Oh my word girl, how on earth do you keep up with all of them?? I only have 2 and one is always being neglected. I am now your newest follower of your Homespun Hannah blog. =] Thanks for following mine.

Have a fabulous week~

Yeah, I dont intend to sound unfriendly by being a "no reply", it's just that I won't do "mailto:" anywhere on the internet. And, that's the platform Blogger has for replies. That's why I do the Contact Form so people can find me. It is much safer :)
