I think I have it set to let people post if they have id's on other sites like google/wordpress/blogger - but that I have to approve the message if they are a newbie to posting with no id. Maybe If I sign out and look at my own blog I will see how its set up. I also hate word verification - I cant read the letters -- I feel bad for those who have to use audio - I have tired the audio and also cant understand what it is saying.

I may or may not have it turned on at my spot. I'll check but it will be MY decision if it remains off/on. <br /><br />I have just as much trouble reading it sometimes with the first or even 2nd choice as the next person with these aging eyes. Occasionally I gripe about it too. Sometimes I smile about the funny combo of letters that pop up but I would never presume to tell/ask someone to take it down from THEIR blog. My blog, my choice of font, colors, off or on.<br /><br />Come on, it only takes a couple seconds out of your life. Have we all become so impatient when things do not happen instantly?? You already found time to read the post or at least look at the pictures. If your comment/approval would mean that much to the person posting it, isn't that few seconds worth it? <br /><br />Read or don't read, comment or don't comment. Fine by me. It is YOUR choice. I blog mainly for myself anyway as a form of writing a journal. Numbers do NOT drive what I do. If I can pass along something I have learned or inspire others, good. Bonnie and her legion of followers are not apt to visit my spot in bloggerland in the first place so no worries about that pesky verification.

It took me no less than 9 tries to make the comment go through. By #5 I was too invested to give up. So frustrating! I don't have it on mine, and wordpress is pretty good with spam.
