A Private Message to A Blogger

This is how to send a private message to a blogger whose Email address is not published in his/her profile. This may be useful in case you want to exchange Email addresses, however you do not want them to be shown to spammers, etc.
Most of the bloggers has the "Comment Notification Address" feature set in their blogs, it is an Email address, where you receive the contents of the new comments you receive on your own blog. So, you can now send a comment, and then delete it just after you send it. In such case it will obviously not be show, however it will be sent to the blog owner's Email.

  3. I'd like to know how to know what post someone is commenting on without having to search my blog for it. I've enabled Comment Notification, but still someone could comment on a post from way back and it could take a while to find it.

  4. There is a link at the bottom of the notification mail, if you click on it, you'll be taken to that particular post.

  5. Thanks tarek.
    I just found out that I need to have email read in HTML, not text, to see the link in the email notification.
