Squiggly Gibberish Ruins My Day

in Blogging

I know I am getting older. My eyes might be starting to go a bit. My mom started wearing reading glasses when she was my age, and I am sure it’s inevitable for me too.

I just wanted to say how frustrated I get with those little scrambled authorization codes that I have to type in all the time to verify that I am a human not a bot before I post something. I am not talking about on ActiveRain. I don’t mind typing persimmon. Its those sites that use 8 different wavy fonts and have some wacko background covering everything up. Most of the time I can’t read them.

In 15 months of using Blogger for my main blog, I don’t think I ever got the authorization code right on the first try once. I think they have a bug, but that is another topic.

I just tried to post on Maureen McCabe’s Columbus Best blog, and I can’t. I have no idea what I am typing wrong because I have typed in every possible variation of what I am seeing 10 times. I give up.

Do you have one of these frustrating authorization do-hickeys on your site? I might not be able to comment next time I stop by and I bet I am not the only one.

What a pretty, new, clean white blog… and no squiggles required?
