How to hide my email address from everyone including comments
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. There’s no way to hide your email address from other bloggers when commenting on their blogs unless their setting do not require it. In fact, every time you comment the other blogger is provided with your username, IP address and email address.
If you don’t want them to have your email address, I’d recommend creating another email account trough gmail, yahoo, etc, and use that when commenting instead.

So, if I write comment or answer on someone’s comment in my blog, my personal information will not be displayed? right?
-
As kokkieh has explained your email address will be displayed. That is why I use yahoo email addresses for my blogs, and do not provide my personal email address that I use only for friends and family.

That’s why I asked again, cause I thought that my email is not visible when I write in my own blog. Thank you

Just to be clear: this is when you comment on someone else’s blog, the same as you can see the info of everyone who comments on your blog. But when you reply to comments on YOUR OWN blog, the people to whom you reply aren’t provided with your details. -
Some sites don’t do much checking on the email so you can fill in a fake address – stupid (at) moron.com maybe

I have been using Disqus for comments. It works well to hide email addresses and filter spam.

I’d just like to make certain my email address is not displayed anywhere on my blog for spammers to pick up. I don’t comment on other blogs, so those people wouldn’t be seeing it, however I don’t want my email displayed on my stuff. Thanks.

The only way your email address will display on your own blog is if you put it there, so just make sure you don’t type it into any post, page, widget or comment and you should be safe. For what it’s worth, I have a dedicated email address for my blog and I’ve never gotten spam at that address.
Even if you comment on other blogs and those bloggers get hold of your email that way, it’s not displayed publicly so also cannot be harvested by spambots.
