ARE THERE ANY OTHER CLEARER CAPTCHAS FOR BLOGGER?


So that some followers can comment, I have stopped using the catpcha which blocks spam by robots. The system was successful. I know the captchas used on Blogger are difficult to see, and there are times when I have clicked away at the captcha till a usable one has shown up. Even so, what is on offer is pretty difficult to read, especially for certain vision prescriptions, especially when the offerings are grossly distorted, as they are, with the captchas that are on offer by Blogger.

I am now receiving spam. Does anyone out there please, know of a different style of captcha that can be uploaded - with instructions - for use with Blogger, if so, where may I find them, please?

DESIGN, RE-DESIGN AND YET MORE DESIGN

The time is drawing nigh when blogger's new look will be imposed upon us. There will no longer be the choice to revert back to the 'old look'. If what I have already seen of the new look, then we are in for a clinical upheaval, much like the one imposed on Gmail.  What fun I have had with that, calming it down for easier working. I am constant to Bloggers 'old' look, it works for me. It probably works for lots of users.  I wonder if there will be as many unhappy bunnies on this site once the changes do take place, as there are with Gmail.

Some of the disgruntlement is down to core features missing on Gmail, others are not yet connected. It, too, is clinically stark, and I have spent some time trying to customise it to make the page easier on the eye. As for it being an improvement, the jury is out.  The presentation and format appear to be in essence, a corporate colour scheme makeover. 

A change for change sake....if it ain't broke don't fix it.
