Tickled Pink No. 87


Happy Weekend!
It is going to be a busy one!
My son bridges from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts tonight.
My daughter has her first dance class (watch out Dance Moms!)
Basketball, and well, the usual crazy family weekend stuff....
including starting my 6 beastly chairs I scored
(OK, score is not the right word) from Goodwill!

A Note about Word Verification
this is a tame one...but UGH!
Word verification has been made even more evil on Blogger.
I don't like to tell anyone what to do...
but Blogger has made the word verification
(which I was not a fan of anyway)
absolutely awful - the words are longer, harder to reader,
it takes longer to comment, and well ridiculous. 
I do not have word verification and have so few spam problems.


So, my "plea" is to rethink word verification on your blog.
You may be missing commenters - many bloggers will not even leave comments.\


I posed this question on Facebook and the consensus was that most spam is on older posts, so to moderate comments on posts older than 14 (mine is set longer) days.
OK, that is my issue for the day!

    Thanks so much for hosting Holly! And I COMPLETELY agree with you on the word verification. I've given up leaving comments sometimes because it takes me so long to get it right.

    Thank you so much for featuring my beanie hat! You are awesome! I agree about the word verification. I do still leave comments, but sometimes I leave a comment and hop away before the verification box comes up, so the comment disappears in to space...

    Huge congrats to your son! That is exciting, we love Boy Scouts. We have one and a half years left of Cubs, but whose counting?

    Look out Dance Moms, here you come. This is a fun stage of life to enter.

    Thanks as always for hosting, already pinned that yummy looking Sloppy Joe recipe.

    Can I hear a great big loud "Amen Sister!" regarding the word verification! It has become such a issue now. It takes so much time to have to do the whole word verification in the first place and now with the "new and improved"...forget about it! Okay, off of my high horse. thanks for hosting Holly and have a great weekend!
