Don't you hate it when you leave a comment and you see this?
I've created a quick (and amazingly easy!) tutorial on how to disable this feature. But first...
The reasons you should disable word verification:
You might be losing comments.
Your readers might write a comment then, unknowingly, leave the page without realizing there was another step to commenting
It takes a lot longer with word verification
Leaving a comment is a two-step process. It takes a while. (especially with a slower computer)
The pictures are hard to read
I hate it when the photos are difficult to read, then I end up taking forever leaving a comment because I keep getting it wrong.
All these things could lead up to readers who won't leave comments.
Also, you should know,
Also, you should know,
I've never had any trouble with spam (ever since I started 'no verification' comments), but you should check your spam box every week or so.
I also have my comments set so I moderate them by email whenever someone leaves a new comment.
Now, onto disabling this feature!
It's super simple and easy!
Go to dashboard > settings > comments
scroll down to 'show word verification?'
Check the box that says 'no'
You're done! Now it makes it easier for your readers to leave comments. :]
*Update*
(In the comments below) I was told that this only works in the 'old' Blogger interface. I have decided
not to switch to the new interface (I think it's more difficult to use) yet.
For new bloggers, this tutorial will
not work. Once I get more familiar with the new interface, I'll post new updates (for the new blogger interface). :]
