You're ridiculous. Spare me. If you make me have an account of some sort AND captcha, don't expect me to comment. It's really your loss cause I'm pretty funny.
If you're a Blogger blogger (yep, that's a thing), go into your settings, then posts and comments and at the word verification drop down, select no. Your readers will love you more, I swear.
Another Teh Megan pet peeve is the comment box opening in a new window or popup box. If you embed it, commenters won't be confused why your comment box never appeared. This happens to me when I have several tabs open and it opens a new window and I don't notice at all so I click a million more times and still can't figure out what the problem is until I move on and give up on commenting, then realize when I'm finally done internetting that I have a million popup windows to close which contained the comment box for the comment that I've long forgotten.
Dear No-Reply commenters,
I love you, but you make me sad. Here's why. You leave me love and comment on Teh Blog and then I can't even respond back to you via email (which is how I respond to comments because I don't expect people to come back to Teh Blog to see if there were replies on individual posts because I know I don't do that).
Is this you? Do you even know? Here's how to check:
Hope this helps you out and doesn't sound preachy. I've definitely been the person that has used both captcha AND was a no-reply blogger. It was a whole new world without both!
Happy (almost) May!!!
Do I have a popup comment box? Truthfully, never thought about it- I don't comment on myself (also reply through emails). Good post!
