Annoying isn’t it? (Annoying isn’t it?)
MOM, make her stop! (MOM, make her stop!)
Remember a pesky brother or sister playing the Repeat Game when you were kids? I couldn’t stand being on the receiving end of it, though I did dish out my fair share of the obnoxious-ness.
Not the greatest analogy, but that is exactly how I feel about the Word Verification system—annoyed.
I hardly ever get it on the first try. Nor the second. By the third try…well, I just quit trying.
A couple of months ago I saw on Mari’s blog a ‘Word Verification Free Blog’ Button. {Oh and, off-topic here, Mari’s son just got back from Afghanistan! Thanks and God bless you, Andy!}
If you’re interested you can pick your WV-free button up at Beatrice Banks: Cute as a Button. It’s just a little ways down on her right column. It looks like this:
So folks, if you notice the amount of usual comments starting to drop off your blog, the pesky Word-Verification ‘Prove you’re not a Robot’ might be the culprit.
It’s All If I admit I’m a robot you’ll make it stop? Good!

I have always disliked word verification, but now it is just obnoxious!
ReplyDeleteI love Keetha's response. :)
(Thanks for the shout out for Andy!)
I so agree with you. I wonder if any of this feedback is getting to the powers that be at Blogger.com.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. I've been wondering why these were poping up on so many blogs AND sometimes after I type them in "it" (what ever "it" is) won't take it. After trying another time I give up!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!! I HATE THIS TOO! But how do I get it programmed to not do it? I know when I blogged a few years ago I disabled it but can't seem to remember how to now. HELP!!!
