Be friend and get close to your readers. Let them be able to contact you easily. Your readers want your feedback, so do follow the comments left by your readers. If your readers are asking question, make sure you get back to them (replying their comments). People need information and that is why they go to your blog to search for answers. Be honest with your readers, try to offer help when applicable.
Posting up your email for readers to contact you is the most basic way of letting your readers contact you besides leaving comments/feedback in your blog (comment section or chatbox widget). However, it will be much more easier if you can provide a “contact form” feature in your blog.
This will facilitates your readers to contact you just by filling the contact form.

@Miss Write,
You can send a ticket to the support team of your host. I ever encountered such problem before with my previous host. After they changed some configuration at the server side, I was able to receive emails via the contact form.
