Word Verification

Blogger's spam filter for comments really works pretty good and traps the comments off to a separate place where you can delete them later. I've only had one legitimate comment end up in there. I used to get a lot of spammy junk. I used word verification for a bit and that stopped the junk but I got a few emails that people couldn't comment when they wanted to because it was too hard. So I switched it to block anonymous comments.  Still no spam. I left open the option to be a user anywhere, not just blogger. <br /><br />Maryanne (sorry, I mean maryanne lol) suggested changing the blog settings to block google from finding the blog. I had done that until I saw some of the search terms that were bringing people to my blog... and decided it was better to leave it available to be found. I openly admit my "crazies" and believe that DD is a good way - for me at least - to cope with daily struggles.  Not that I have any information or proof for them because we're not doing it.  But I think it's good to see you're not alone though.<br /><br />Anyway though, if you're having problems with spam comments that's probably a good way to stop it.  People would only find you through your comments you leave on others' blogs.<br /><br />If you've got word verification you might want to reconsider it.  I was trying to comment today from my phone and finally gave up.  Either the words were a bunch of blurry gobbledy-gook or the picture couldn't be read.  I couldn't get it to give me legible letters at the same time as a picture that could be read.  <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVN-cTNwivIXpgyeuAMICMtpkXOAIPyz-xq4PCqNvYP-vQf30su8jptcDedQ2Yx3eUNJV5BhnLhsPuzPTJO_1lIdflwt4E3b4zuU27hIJHF3IDdDWjjt0PwNiedlMY_q3k9emcBdwW80c/s1600/imagew.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="145" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVN-cTNwivIXpgyeuAMICMtpkXOAIPyz-xq4PCqNvYP-vQf30su8jptcDedQ2Yx3eUNJV5BhnLhsPuzPTJO_1lIdflwt4E3b4zuU27hIJHF3IDdDWjjt0PwNiedlMY_q3k9emcBdwW80c/s320/imagew.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie_KbaDqH3nofyv9sRvGiP8a6_BndDrvPCiMqBeNrsxew8xBZ428RihhA7Y0hUb6vjNBNTXa48g5gWZp4BoFr_FYo4zqArw8rupmlXittAuI3dLgAxmZt8ukJCOPev50YZEG96ik5-OjM/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="157" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie_KbaDqH3nofyv9sRvGiP8a6_BndDrvPCiMqBeNrsxew8xBZ428RihhA7Y0hUb6vjNBNTXa48g5gWZp4BoFr_FYo4zqArw8rupmlXittAuI3dLgAxmZt8ukJCOPev50YZEG96ik5-OjM/s320/image.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And speaking of randomly generated letters...
