How to Get Rid of "Prove you're not a ROBOT" in your Comment Section

Are You a ROBOT?
I am according to the comment section on some blogs.


As I was hopping along on a great little blog hop this morning,
 I went to leave messages in the comment section thanking all the great bloggers for sharing. 
I know it was early and I am getting old, or my eyesight is going, but twice I was told I was a robot and had to re-enter the correct numbers and letters.
Do you know what I am talking about?
This box!

So here is how you get rid of it 
so everyone will love to leave you comments. 
All bloggers love comments especially Teacher bloggers!

I am definitely not a very techy person, but this was easy to do. 
Those little boxes have been bothering me and now maybe I helped get rid of a pesky few!

How to Verify your Blog on Pinterest! Make it Easier for others to find your blog!

Have you verified your blog on Pinterest?
I'm not even sure I knew what that meant until last night while pinning away. Basically, it links your blog to Pinterest, making it easy for friends and followers to jump right over to your blog. 
 It also displays your blog address vs. the earth icon. Here is a picture of what I am talking about.
 You will have a little red check mark next to your website or blog link. 


It is so easy to do. If I can do it, you can do it. There are different directions for Blogger blogs and Wordpress blogs. I saw this pin and found Jamie at Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom.
  She has a very simple tutorial to follow. 


It takes about 5 minutes or even less for the tech savvy folks. I am not one to mess with the HTML code much, but it is fairly easy, and you ALWAYS backup your template just in case! Good Luck!
