Very annoying indeed. I think my blog has the verification setting turned on, but I'm considering turning it off if this continues.

I, like you, probably won't bother the next time it comes up. I feel like I've already given the blogger a chunk of my time reading what he or she wrote, so I hate that I have to WASTE my time jumping through hoops to leave a comment.<br /><br />Maybe I don't get it because I'm not a popular blog either. Oh, and I also don't read stubs. If your blog is too special to be available in my blog reader, then you're probably way too special for me. :-/Beezushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681686105971867703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686963620009544835.post-57427062884690823772012-02-21T18:24:52.010-06:002012-02-21T18:24:52.010-06:00Hear, hear!

By the way - I've entered my user id, email address etc. on one of my favourite blogs and the next time it was already there, so maybe you only have to enter this once per blog?

If it's a problem then the setting could be changed to the one where you approve the comment before it goes on. Maybe that's too much trouble for some folks but with the word verification feature turned on they're losing comments. I wish I knew the answer to a previously asked question - why does it matter how many followers you have? Are they earning money somehow for that? If so, that's great - a good way to earn $ for stay at home moms. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686963620009544835.post-31746373915245055742012-02-19T07:37:07.180-06:002012-02-19T07:37:07.180-06:00I fear March 1st when the changes happen - not sur...I fear March 1st when the changes happen - not sure if better or worse.
