You might get more comments on your blog if you make this simple change. Disable the "capcha" type feature which forces visitors to type in a jumbled up code word before they can comment. I know that I have abandoned commenting on many blogs because the code is so hard to read and not worth the time.
You'll find that spam isn't an issue really, at least I never get any. Another wise blogger did a similar post to this when I started blogging and I was very thankful for the simple little tip.
Thanks for listening to my rant.

I could not AGREE with you more! I just left a comment with the captcha thing and I would leave more if I did not have to jump through hoops! :)
I so agree! I hate having to jump through hoops in order to make a simple comment!

Lindsey-I have searched to high heaven trying to figure out how to turn off the dang thing. Can you give me some advice? I would also like my comment box to say "jump to comment" at the top like yours does. I would love some help if you have time to give it! thanks, susan
I agree! I got rid of comment verification long ago and I almost NEVER get spam! I hate the jumbled words now...stops me from commenting also.
Yes, I agree as well. I visit so many blogs and the quicker I can leave a comment the better, otherwise I don't most of the time.
I agree. When I first set up my blog a few months ago...I decided then that the jumble thing was out. If at some future date I get comments from a machine...well...maybe a machine is better than none:)
Thank you...apparently I had only done part of that right. Thank you for this post it was a help for me!
I agree with you. You know what drives me even more nuts is when you have to type in a code and then once you do that it says it must be approved by the blog author anyway. Arrggghh!

Thanks so much Lindsey! I did it and joined linky followers too. Now do I need to go back and refollow the blogs I have followed? Not sure about that one.
I don't even know if I have that. I am so not good at this. Was it easy to comment on my blog?
I totally agree with you!!!
Great idea! Totally forgot that my Captcha was even on! (And I get spam anyway WITH CAPTCHA, so what is the difference).
That said, beautiful and fun blog! I will definitely be back....(oh..and hitting "follow" before I leave!!!)
Good idea. I can't even read those word codes sometimes!
