This is a post from my own blog and, at CandidCarrie's suggestion, I am opening the topic here (hope this is the right category for it!). I welcome any comments, suggestions, etc.
I have had a godawful stomach thing so tonight I’ve just been sitting here getting caught up on my blog reading, leaving comments where I can. Now I have to say that there are 2 blogs so far that I couldn’t leave comments at all on because they required a blogger/google ID or an OpenID. While I do have a google ID, it is with my real full name and used for family and business purposes — not something I want published anywhere. On another blog, it took several tries for me to get past the “captcha” type codes because the blue-on-blue or pink-on-pink (you get my drift) is so difficult for someone with vision problems like me to read. Now my question is: Is there a good reason for making it so hard to comment? I know SPAM is an issue and I know I’m probably gonna regret having my blog wide-open with no restrictions at all on comments but is there a middle ground?
