I just found a great post at
Mrs. Stanford's Class. She posted about her blogger pet peeves including the word verifiers that you need to get through before you can post a comment on a blog. I had no idea that my blog had a word verifier (I know I'm still pretty naive about this whole blogging thing).
What the Teacher Wants has a simple tutorial about how to get rid of the word verifier (go to settings, then comments, and then check no on "show word verification").
Mrs. Stanford is now having a Linky Party about blogger pet peeves.
I agree with everyone who linked up, word verifiers are my biggest pet peeve. Another pet peeve that I have is that some blogs have become nothing but advertisements for the author's Teachers Pay Teachers products. I certainly have nothing against TpT. In fact I have been really happy with the things I have bought and understand that a blog is a great marketing tool. That being said, there are blogs that I loved in the past because of all the great ideas that were shared that are now absolutely devoid of anything other than "advertisements" for their TpT products. I now tend to skip those blogs and go to the many that regularly share great ideas ... not just "freebies" but also descriptions of what is working in their classrooms.
Yay - I took the word verifier away when it start posting those numbers that you can't read . . . and haven't had any problems so . . . voila! Done!!
