I love you all, but...
TURN OFF YOUR DAMN COMMENT WORD VERIFICATION!!!!
I love your blog. I love to comment on your blog.
But I am so damn sick of typing in those characters to prove I am not a Comment Bot/Spammer, I could simply SPIT!!!
Please...for the love of all that is good and holy... TURN IT OFF!!!!! You know how many times I have been spammed? in 80 posts? Zero. Bagel. Bupkus. Nada. So PLEASE do it, already.
Here's how in the New Blogger:
Click Customize
Click the Settings Tab
Click Comments
Where it says "Show word verification for comments?" put the radial button in "No"
Click Save Settings, and you are done.
While you are at it, can you also make it so I can reply to your comment over email? Here's how.

posthumous pointer
To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded. - Emerson

Dude! I did a post about that a couple of weeks ago. What the heck? Most of the time I can't read the damn letters anyway and then I end up doing it twice. Grrr!
And mine has been about 250 posts and I HAVE been spammed - ONCE. *delete* - Easy Breezy.
Remove Your Word Verifications People!!!
Your Killing Me!!
Thanks :) - much love and kisses...
Great minds, champ!
Wait till you folks get to see what SoxyDeb, Kristina and Joy are up to on Monday...
I turned mine off a week or two ago. I turned it on for having two spams but I realize I can delete comments for that reason and I saw another of the bloggers I follow was complaining about them because of dyslexia. I honestly never thought of that. So off it came. :)
Yes people yes!!! TURN IT OFF!!! Thank you again....another great tip!!
Word verification drives me nuts, especially the typepad one that loads a new page for i. Sorry but once I have hit 'post' I move on to the next tab & I won't see that word verification until I go to close the tab, when a new one will need to load itself. Assuming I don't just close my browser.
The word verication for a guy's site I visited last night was "undie" hw funny is THAT? Just for the record- I HATE WV.
OK. Jay, jsut for you (and everyone else)! so everybody come and comment now!
Jay, I couldn't agree more! I've been spammed twice. In over 200 posts.
This means you should be commenting on all my posts now. :)
Hey look at me!
I've already done these things. How hospitable am I? :->
I'm new to your blog and already I have learned a new skills! It was driving me nuts but did not know how to do it! Just turned off that word verification! Came to read about Monday.
I agree completely! UGH!
Hallelujah...in no offensive way. LOL! I HATE word verification...especially when I FAIL and have to do it AGAIN!! Please turn them OFF people!! It's a waste of time!! Time is PRECIOUS!!
Thanks for trying to convince the blogger friends that they won't get tons of spam if the turn off the WV.
WV really sucks!
I hate word verification. But sadly, I do get spammed if I turn it off. It happens the moment I hit "Publish". At least 10 spam comments will automatically appear. I can't stand that either. I wish I could turn it off, but I just can't stand being harassed like that. (On my little nondescript mommy blog with oh so few readers ... why don't they leave me alone?)
Sorry. Wish I could shut it off. If I could, I surely would.
But thanks for visiting me and posting a comment anyway. :)
i originally did not have it on ...but then I got spammed comments ...so I turned it on. I will remove it ...maybe.... but if I get so much as ONE, I'm turning it back on ...lol
WOW! Thanks! I have learned so much on your blog just in 5 minutes! LOL!!
Thank you for walking me through how to do that! I detest word verification. It usually takes 3 tries and if it is going to take that long, I give up.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! AND I got rid of the WV! ;) Love your blog BTW!
Saving blogger's sanity. One blogger at a time. I had no idea I was driving everyone nuts. Thanks Jay!
Ok.... now stop by, leave a comment, say hi.
The word verification on some people's blogs are not working! When I try to leave a comment the word verification pops up but never loads. Get the word out! Turn the dang thing off!
