I have defeated them by downloading a captch bypass browser extenison called rumola to type them in for me (you can get it in the chrome store!) but, if i have to enter them manually i really struggle.<br />I agree with the last poster about wordpress. It really works very well with its spam filter. I switched a while ago and it was definitely worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-23171000555951181482012-11-02T16:22:34.904-07:002012-11-02T16:22:34.904-07:00One more reason to prefer Wordpress over Blogger. ...One more reason to prefer Wordpress over Blogger. I was really hoping to see a change to Wordpress during the last makeover, but unfortunately it didn't happen.<br /><br />The nice thing with Wordpress is that there are so many options available; if something doesn't work the way you like there are usually other options available to achieve your goal.

Is there something I should be doing differently?<br /><br />I don't understand why you're getting spam if you see the feed but not if you read the site. Sounds like a serious problem with blogger.com. Blogger.com's captchas are way too hard, it's taking me 5 or 6 tries even when I look hard at it.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260807460417787614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-58219674865624949212012-11-01T20:20:39.551-07:002012-11-01T20:20:39.551-07:00I just read things here at the website.

The "typed word" half is usually not too hard -- but the other half, the "picture" half -- is a total crap shoot. On the other hand I read the comments directly from the blog (and not through Google Reader) so I have never had the problem. Sounds very annoying for those of you who go that route. It would be great though if there were a way to choose a less cryptic, illegible word verification that still works!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09923777229601243321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-83351562341614210682012-10-31T13:14:43.614-07:002012-10-31T13:14:43.614-07:00AAAaah!
