As you can see I have this little blinkie on the side of my page. It doesn't do anything special really, its just there to draw your attention to the fact that I looooooove comments. I'm a comment addict, in fact if there was a 'Comments Anonymous' I would have to sign up and follow the 12 step programme. BUT, and here is the big BUT, I have noticed when hopping and reading other blogs that it can be quite difficult to leave a comment on some of them. Mostly because of the millions of security questions that you have to answer. Granted, nobody likes spam... after all why would I want to buy viagra, slimming pills or an e-book that promises to give me the secret to becoming an instant millionaire? However, having to fill in what my date of birth is, my favourite colour and my first pets name is a bit ridiculous. This got me thinking about my own blog. Now when I comment on my blog I don't have to do any security questions, because it already recognises me as the owner of this blog. I'm wondering tho', does it make you fill in security questions to leave me a comment? If it does.... can anybody tell me how to disable this facility or make it easier for people to leave me comments? Please let me know! I'd love to hear your opinion... it would make this comment addicts day!

ReplyDeleteand yours didn't make do any passwords or even log in... might be because I'm also on typepad
Thanks Sharyn! After posting I found the "settings" button where I checked and unchecked a whole load of little boxes. I'm hoping one of them is the one that switches off the CAPTCHA thingy. Perhaps a non-Typepad person will happen by and confirm if its worked? I can hope!! Anthea

ReplyDeleteI hate all that security stuff on blogs too. I don't have any on mine, and have never had spam type comments.
Pam, Im hoping that I dont get any spam either. Ill have to risk it and see, I suppose I could always put the horrible CAPTCHA thingy back on again if I do get spam. Thanks for all the comments everybody! Youve made a comment addict very very happy!
