Word Verification Issue

  Well I am with the rest that do not like this new word verification thing. If you have it I will continue to read and post on your blog but I have been reading that many people have been boycotting Blogs with the two word verification on it (like below). One of our fellow lady bloggers Kathy Felsted Usher has posted on her blog "Moving on to the Past"  a great article on this topic. She has also found a gentleman that has a post that shows you step by step how to turn it off and it works Click Here!  I know I normally don't post on topics of this nature but after reading it is difficult for readers that visit your blog, I thought it should be posted for each of you to make your own mind up about it. Thank you Kathy for posting this! and please each of you take the time to visit these blogs and investigate for yourself.

Word Verification Issue


UPDATE:  It appears Blogger is responsible for this and, according to the internet comments I have read, no one is pleased.   I have removed the word verification because I just cannot have this on my blog.  Moderation is still on so I should be able to catch any "bad" stuff that tries to come across.

  1. I knew Blogger was responsible. Well, they were responsible for the change in the verification. I guess they figures one random bunch of letters wasn't sufficient.

    Appreciate you turning it off. I will definitely check out your links. Thanks, Clint.
    Have a blessed day!

  2. I don't have the word verification on my blog. (well not that I know of) When someone has it, I usually don't comment. Because most of the time I can't figure out the words!!! Drives me nuts.

  9. So many people still have word verification on. Not really sure why. I could not believe it when I read.. "Please prove you are not a robot". Is this a joke?
