I am joining Linda over at Coastal Charm in the campaign to get people to turn off their Word Verification!![]() |
Source Everybody has seen this before when trying to leave a comment right? Well that is called word verification. What is word verification? In laymen's terms cause I am a laymen, it is a group of letters that we have to punch in to verify that we are indeed a human leaving a comment. It is suppose to help prevent spam in our comments. Well guess what? It is no longer just one group of letters it is two and they have made them harder to read . Guess what? You DO NOT need Word Verification if you have a Blogger account because Blogger from what I have seen does a pretty good job at catching it and preventing it. I have had my Word Verification turned off for several years now and only once in a blue blue moon will I see a spam comment. I swear! |

Source Thanx Kathy over at Creative Home Expressions for this fabulous button! Why do you want to turn your word verification off you may ask? Well because you want to see more people leave comments on your fabulous posts right!? Word Verification takes up a ton of time when you are trying to visit as many blogs as you can like when I host Treasure Hunt Thursday. Now that we have to punch in two words it takes twice as long and thus if you have word verification turned on it will turn people off from leaving you comments. I have gotten to where I will not leave a comment because I feel like it is a punishment for being nice and wanting to leave you a comment. Its kinda like you are saying stop by and visit but don't knock on my door and disturb me. I know there are a lot of new bloggers out there and even bloggers who did not even know they have Word Verification turned on. So how do you turn it off? Well not sure with WordPress accounts but if you have a Blogger account go to the upper right hand corner of your blog and click on Design. From there click on settings and then go to Comments. Scroll down till you see you see Comment Moderation and then click NEVER! Be sure to save your changes. It is that easy and I promise you you will have an increase in comments on your blog! Just say NO to Word Verification and STOP the insanity! |
