I want to add my voice to the many others you've seen online over the last week. Blogger has a new word verification interface and it is just about as annoying as it can be! Reading the little scrambled up words is nigh unto impossible. And of course, if you don't get the words right the first time, you get a new unreadable word to try and type before you can post a comment. Leaving a comment takes much longer, and often I am finding myself so frustrated, I'm not leaving a comment at all.
The ever lovely Madamme Samm has a little tutorial with perfectly clear instructions if you'd like to turn off word verification on your blog. Easy, peasy, and just takes a couple minutes.
Theresa, of The Run*A*Round Ranch made this great little button. I'll be adding it on my sidebar.

But-- If it doesn't work out for you, you can always turn it back on....
Happy Blogging and Stitching, everyone!

Thank you for linking up to the instructions for removing word verification! I tried to do it on my own...and could remember that there was a box to uncheck, of course, I didn't think to look for it on the old interface! I seriously never would have found it on my own, thanks!
p.s. I had to prove I wasn't a robot to leave my comments here...?
I turned my word verification off. So far no trouble. Love the button, very lol.
Glad to hear you're doing a little better. I found washing my hair the hardest chore when I've burned myself in the past. Hope life is getting back to normal.
Yay! Welcome back! You've be missed! I know how hard it is to be away from the sewing machine. Hope you're settled behind it once again and grinning from ear to ear! Thank you for clueing us in on removing word verification. Done. :) Now get back to stitching!
Welcome Back!!
glad you are doing better Staci
Happy sewing :)
(yikes! sorry to hear about your burn, but glad you're better!)
thanks for spreading the anti-word verification message! i can't take credit for that button, though. i stole it off another blog last year sometime! :)
I did think their verifications were more challenging....sigh...wonder why they felt the need to change it?
Glad you're back to sewing....I never realized how much it's a part of who I am and how much I really enjoy it....until this month. I know you can relate.
Can't wait to see what you're working on. Have a great week!
So glad you are back and feeling better!!
Sorry about your hand. I'm glad it's better.
I had noticed that stupid word verification thing too. I went and set mine back to no verifications.
Hurrah I had a good rant about my hatred for word verification this week and made a button too! I had no idea there was already one out there!
Nice to read your Blog again. I have my Blog setting as no Anonymous and I haven't had any trouble with spam. Sewing is a healing thing for me too...
Mine is off and here is an alternative button if you wish!

I have problems commenting on some blogs since they made these changes. If there is a drop down menu asking for what ID to use, it won't allow me to post a comment. It has become a real pain for me.
Yeah your back, have fun sewing up a storm now!
Yeah your are back, glad your fingers are feeling better Staci!
Welcome back!
Glad you are back! I am hoping I won't get spammed...I took the words off my blog. Those fuzzy words are horrible! Love the button!
Since I changed mine to no word verification, I've had 2 anonymous spam comments. The spam filter caught them, but I was wondering when I changed my settings under "Comments" and "Who can comment?" to Registered Users - will that allow everyone who wants to comment to be able to do so?
