so, it has come to my attention that there are those who absolutely loathe the word verification from blogger. i don't mind it at all, i use it myself (but let me admit that those blogger blogs using both word verification and moderation irritate me a lot; i really have to love a blog to leave a comment on one that uses both). i use it because i got a lot of spam comments a couple years back, but i'm turning it off for a bit. maybe to encourage comments. haha. anyway, if it comes back, then you'll know i got lots of spam again and i just HATE spam!
