HOW TO ELIMINATE THAT STUPID WORD VERIFICATION

This was always annoying, but now it is even more than before - you can just not read the words and have to try two or more times to get it right!

Just get rid of it!

    TESTIFY! I hate it too! And have even stopped commenting on blogs that still have it...

    You rock, Yael. Sarah xxx

    I don't think you have to do word-verification on my blog, but I am able to read the comments before publishing them. This lets me get rid of the spam, myself. It's not a problem.

    I was thinking about that too, Yael... Now they made it even more annoying and I'm afraid this will keep readers away from my blog.

    BUT -- I had already taken the verification word away once before, and what happened was I suddenly had my blog full of hideous spam... :( and it's hard to go through all the previous comments in previous blogs. Any suggestions? :)

    I had thought about "comment moderation" (that's what Dawn has), but I don't know... some readers like to see their comment published right away, it's more immediate...
    I'm confused :(

    OK -- just got rid of it too :)
    Will try it again... hope not to be submerged by spam "comments", but you are right: it was WAY too annoying!!!

    Now even Ryanair has this "Captcha word verification" on their website... can you imagine??? You want to check a flight and you get this annoying double unreadable word verification!!!! GRRRRRRR

    Sandra, that is interesting!
    I never had a spam in three years of blogging! But I think a spam or two once a while is to get rid of quick and it is much less annoying than this word verification!

    Greetings to all!
