I subscribe to Loca's tubular channel. There's not heaps, but what is there is tremendous fun. This message went on air last week and I felt it was important enough to spread the word...
Some clear and essential points are made, I think you will agree &*>
Some clear and essential points are made, I think you will agree &*>
NOW SOME EXTRA WORDS...PLEASE!!!!
I know that one or two other bloggers have pointed this out, but it makes no harm to repeat; BLOGGER HAS ENFORCED THE ROBOTIC NUMBERS CHECK ON COMMENTS ONLY WHERE BLOGGERS HAVE GOT "POPOUT BOX" VERSION... it was happening here, but have now embedded the comments box and this has circumvented the robot. It has nothing to do with whether you already have any level of moderation on. This frustration is purely for popout boxes (where the comments are made on a separate box/page). I am one of those whose eyesight even with glasses, struggles with those things and often have to make more than one attempt at getting through.
Please please please, if you have popout boxes, do consider now changing to embedded comments boxes. You can do this by going to the settings button of your blogs, then to the posts and comments sub-header in that. There you will see the comments options... (I allow registered users only and never for moderation - in nearly two years I have had but 5 spam comments and these are easily marked as spam in the comments control label, getting rid of them for good).
THANK YOU and please spread the word. Google is doing this because of spammers and hackers, so it is fair enough, but honest bloggers can sort it this way!

Delete'Tis a giggle is it not???
WE are SCREAMING with Laughter here.... this is the FUNNIEST most HYSTERICAL thing we have seen in a Squirrel's Age... It is SO funny that we have played it 4 times...
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE the Scottish BURRRRRRRRrrrrrr ... you would not notice that... butt for US it makes it even BETTER...
We are going to hold off changing anything on our blog for a day or so... because when this ROBOT thingy happened the LAST time... Blogger FIXED it... and those who had Messed with their own settings... had a real problem getting THAT UN DONE...
We KNOW it is a terrible pain.... to type that stuffs in... butt it is a small inconvenience... fur us... better to Wait and See what Blogger does... Last time it all WENT Suddenly AWAY in about 3 days... Paws Crossed it does it THIS time too.

DeleteGlad you enjoyed... though that is the IRISH BROGUE young Loca has and not at all the Scots!
Yes the Blogger bizzo is a bit of a b***** but then again, embedding comments has this advantage of being able to reply directly! Yxx
Just a wee message to Frankie. Don't feel bad about confusing Scottish and Irish accents. Gail was on a panel interviewing a geologist yesterday.Gail was told, by an English colleague who had already spoken to him, that he sounded Irish, although he had studied and mostly worked in the USA. When Gail met him, she too thought Northern Ireland. But in fact he was from the very southwestern corner of Scotland (which admittedly is closer to Belfast than Edinburgh.)
DeleteCheers, Gail (lives in Scotland, still sounds very English!)
...hheheheheh oh the joys of the cosmopolitan globe!!! Yxx
DeleteMol MOL Auntie Yam...Frankie just sent us this link. We are rolling on the floor.
ReplyDeleteNow I must see that mom stays busy because you know they say idle hands are the devil's workshop
Hugs madi and mom

DeleteSo glad you popped by to see it - such fun..... but sorry if it is giving mum ideas!
We sure hope Blogger fixes it but we think we are embedded anyway. We will link back here to help folks out!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
...thanks doods!!
DeleteThanks for clearing up the great robot mystery! I have switched to embedded comments!
ReplyDeleteHugs!

DeleteThanks Mr Pip - to be fair, having popout boxes serves no real purpose as such, except perhaps to keep the page looking aesthetically pleasing. But I am realising I have the added advantage of direct reply and so will probably keep this now - even if Blogger does sort itself out!!!
I love this video! Loca is so cute and gets the message across very well. I'm going to be forwarding this video on to some friends at our local shelter.
ReplyDeleteBlogger is such a pain. I'm going back to embedded too but I hope they get it fixed soon.
Hari OM
DeleteYup - it's a smile-lifter this one!!!
Thing is, we're using a blogger device that is free. One simply cannot complain methinks!!!! The video is rather cute and works for our 4 cats, as well!!!
ReplyDeleteIf only we followed this advice, life would be simple.
ReplyDeleteMerle..............
Crikey ...... Mum just lets anyone comment on my blog. We've only ever had ONE nasty comment that we deleted as soon as we saw it. Should I do the embedding thingoe? I like the idea of instantaneous replies.
ReplyDeleteOMD!! That's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. All true of course!! Thanks for sharing!!
