If I can'e decipher it, I enlarge the whole page to 400% (I use Microsoft, so bottom right hand corner, use the drop down arrow by the 100% and select 400%).

Spent more than I should have, but it really made my week! It was an almost spring-like day, we found a great spot for lunch, and brought home great finds. <br />Not wild about word verification, but I usually go along with it. If I haven't cracked the code after second try, then I move on down the road. And speaking of roads, hope your neighborhood road project is cleared out soon.

I love the blog and enjoy my visits. Your area seems to have some lovely shops, something my neck of the woods lacks. There are a few gift shops and jewelry shops that are different, but clothing boutiques seem to have been driven out over the years. <br /><br />The pillows are delightful. I'm especially drawn to them because I do love black and white.

But then I decided that if someone really wants to comment, they can make up a name for that particular comment - there is no need to reveal a real name if a commenter doesn't want to. <br />Word verification is awful and I would not encourage you to go that route. I would still leave you comments though because I like you so much, but I do loathe reading those captchas. <br /><br />Adrienne Shubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826463555838820028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-29684038843849318702013-02-21T20:30:25.778-08:002013-02-21T20:30:25.778-08:00your pillow is gorgeous leslie!

I approve all comments (rather than having them appearing right away), so I can delete any spam that way.<br /><br />You can change your settings from your Dashboard -->Settings--Posts and Comments. Make sure you look at "Who can comment?" (I no longer allow Anonymous comments, sadly, due to high amounts of spam and have mine set to "Only registered users"), and I have my "Comment Moderation" set to Always.<br /><br />It has cut back on my spam considerably. Remember that if you do get spam when moderating, click the box beside the comment and then hit "Spam" so that the Blogger elves can watch for that kind of spam and improve their filters. Deleting spam works, of course, but doesn't stop the spam.<br /><br />And your pillow is lovely! How nice to have that connection with the lady who made it.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.com
