1. Sign in to your blog
2. Click on 'Customize'
3. Click on the 'Settings' tab
4. In 'Settings', click on the 'Comments' tab
5. Scroll down until you see 'Show word verification for comments' and make sure 'No' is checked
6. If you are worried about 'spam' comments, and want to moderate comments before they are published on your blog, check the 'Always' box next to 'Comment moderation' (just above where you've just turned off word verification), and enter your email address
7. Click 'Save Settings'
It's really very simple to do, and it makes leaving comments on your blog a much more pleasant experience for your visitors :0)

For those who may be using the new blogger interface, the option to turn off word verification is not there. You have to click on the setting symbol and change back to the old interface and then follow your instructions to turn it off, save and then switch back to the new interface.
Thanks for the information for those of us using the new blogger interface. I kept looking for how to turn it off and didn't realize I had to go back to the old to do it. I think I have it turned off now. :) Thanks!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you for these instructions. I keep coming across blogs that tell you to turn off word verification but don't tell you how to do it. I discovered that I did have it on when I didn't know that I did. Hopefully, I've now turned it off! I have just discovered your site and look forward to doing some of your challenges to add to my stock of Christmas cards. Last year I sent very few out - I can't bear to send out bought ones. This year I hope to be really organised with the help of these challenges! Thanks
