Ditch the Robot Box (Please!)

Hello to all of my friends that are new to blogging and eager to pick up a few tricks. Today I have three important words to share with you:
Disable. Word. Verification. 

You know that pesky box that pops up when you leave a comment on another blog? It's called Word Verification and guess what: that same annoying box is probably popping up when people want to comment on YOUR blog. It is a default setting on Blogger so unless you turned it off already, it is currently irritating your internet audience. Fortunately, this is a very easy tool to disable and this will make your followers very happy.

I posted instructions for disabling Word Verification a few months ago, but since then I have learned a new method for turning this feature off that's even faster and more convenient.

Today I'm thrilled to share 2 new video tutorials with you! The first video provides a quick demo for disabling Word Verification. The second video shows how to check your blog's Spam folder (which you should do occasionally) and delete any spam comments it may contain.

And there you have it! Simple right?

And on a tiny tangent... 

If you are a new blogger that's eager to generate more traffic to your bog (and earn a little extra income), I highly recommend joining Teaching Blog Traffic School. Initially, the $60 membership fee may sound a little steep, but it is a very small investment in the incredible growth that your blog or seller account with Teachers Pay Teachers could generate for you with a little kick-start from Charity Preston's marketing wisdom. I'm proud to be a TBTS affiliate and if you do decide to join, I would love for you to use my membership link.

Happy Blogging!
