(1) Know who you are and
(2) They can make contact if necessary.
Number (1) is easy. Just publish a few details about yourself and possibly a photo. It makes it all more personal and readers can see that you are a real person and not some anonymous blur.
Now letting people contact you is a little more off putting for some. emails are fine, but you can end up with lots of spam and the like. I've previously added an email address, to this blog, but wasn't happy with some of the stuff I received so I had to remove it.
At the moment I am trying out a service from contactify. So what do they offer? This is the service in their own words:
What is Contactify?
A simple way for you to remain contactable, whilst never revealing your email address
How do I use it?
Post your contactify link (contactify.com/your-link-number) anywhere you like. Anyone who clicks on this link is taken to your personal contact form.
Where can I use it?
Anywhere you want, but its very useful for blogs, forums, message-boards, social networks, in fact anywhere where you would normally post your email address in public. So instead of posting your email address online, simply paste your full contactify link i.e http://www.contactify.com/your-link-number
So far, though early days, it is working okay for me. As senders have to feed in a security code it means there is no junk mail. They also have a widget that enables you to put the contact form on your own blog if preferred - though I'm not using this myself.
Needless to say it's a free service.
Good luck,
Mike.
P.S. The last couple of days I have been mentioning Charley Uchea and Big Brother. It seems that I picked on the most unpopular housemate! The Sun newspaper today quotes Charley Uchea as saying, "I'm trendy, I'm wild, argumentative. I'm flirtatious and I'm hot." But she an outsider to win at 40/1. I really must watch BB sometime!
