I am doing something a little different today. I have changed the way I am handling comments. Your comments will post right away instead of waiting for moderation. I do have word verification on. (Sorry I find it slightly annoying but it at least slows down people who post only to advertise-not to comment on the blog.)
So give a comment and let me know what you think

Okay....here's a comment.......just wondering why you changed your method of handling comments. (I never had mine set for moderator approval...but figured you must have had a reason to do that.)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you had a choice in how comments are handled!! I hate "captcha" - and am thinking of creating a new language out of it!! LOL So many people have it -I'll do it for you!!! :>)
ReplyDeleteNo need to reply, Gene, just trying out your new mode of operation. I don't always reply either unless I really have something to say, so don't feel obligated to reply. If word verification really bothers you, try going without it for awhile. If you have a problem, you can always turn it back on. I've never moderated comments or had word verification, and the good news is I've never had a comment that felt like it was advertising.
ReplyDeleteI too don't always comment but love to read....your new way is fine
ReplyDeleteI switched, too, after a while. Moderating was just a pain!! I figure as the blog writer I have the power to delete comments I don't want, like advertisements. But I've never had a problem- we're nice folks out here in quilting blogland!!

Gene..just thought I'd let you know that I'm sneaking in to all the blogs about Bejeweled Barb's quilt giveaway and deleting your entries......LOL!
ReplyDeleteI like comment moderation so that I can 'vet' comments.. sometimes you can get the odd 'nasty' one or from undesirables (like 'call' girls advertising!)... but each to their own. I don't like word verification, it justs adds to the process, and does not block comments you don't want.
ReplyDeleteThere was no word verification on mate.
ReplyDeleteYou can always delete a comment that is spam. Sure it'll post but at least you can delete it. Youcan still have it set to email you when you have a new comment though so deleting unwanted comments should be pretty quick.
ReplyDeleteI've had my blog set likt this (with word verification) for over a year and have only had to delete 1 spam comment
I comment regardless of the process. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your background and header!
I think you can set your blog up any way you want it. I also love comments, and I try to leave lots.
ReplyDeleteI switched to word verification when I started getting spam comments and it works fine for me.
