Comments on blog

I have found that I am not getting email notification about comments as I used to. This is a common problem I understand and has been going on since May, I believe.  I've read loads of help pages. I see that a lot of people are now moving away from blogger and I guess I might have to consider that. I have tried to correct this but don't know if I've been successful yet.

In the process of trying to resolve the problem, I looked at parts of the blogger settings that I have never seen before (I don't usually delve into the settings)  and found quite a few comments in my spam that were not spam. As a result, I didn't reply to these although I do reply normally to all comments made - but I have to see them. I also understand that spam comments are only kept for a brief period so it is likely that I have missed many more. 30% of the 'spam' comments were not spam but 70% were correctly identified.

Sorry if I haven't replied to a comment you've made. Please, please don't let this put you off!

Anyway, finger crossed. 🤞

I have received the subscribe to comments notice so, let's see,

Please let me know if there is an issue.

Thanks

Update:
I received an email notification of a comment from Marianne who is also having this problem. For anyone interested, I have listed the process I wen through below in my response to her comment.
