I can't tell you how many blogs I have seen that contain tons of grammatical errors. Even some major sites! I have told my daughter many times that I can't believe how many people there are out there that are getting PAID to write, and they can't even write a grammatically correct post! Sometimes they're not even that coherent. One of the negatives of the web...anyone can start a blog or website without having any talent, not to mention skill using the English language.Anne Galivanhttp://homeschooling911.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224100136962162818.post-84977947220531835922012-09-09T20:43:22.844-07:002012-09-09T20:43:22.844-07:00One of my pet peeves is comment moderation.

Anything that would be really offensive is going to get flagged. I get very annoyed when I take the time to leave a comment and then I am told that my comment will be "approved" after being moderated.<br /><br />I guess what I would like is a disclaimer that says above the comment section: "Comments will be moderated." Then I simply wouldn't bother to leave a comment. I want to know that if I take the time to leave a comment, that my comment is left!Anne Galivanhttp://homeschooling911.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224100136962162818.post-13067722069723555052012-09-09T20:33:06.304-07:002012-09-09T20:33:06.304-07:00My contention would be that if someone is only &qu...My contention would be that if someone is only "blogging" to get stuff out of their head, then they're not blogging, they're journaling, and they should just keep it to themselves and quit cluttering up the internet. That might seem brutal, but some of the stuff out there really does not need to be out there.

Except I don't Twitter, mainly because I don't have time to get sucked in to it.<br /><br />And although Captcha and Word Verification are annoying...here is what is even more annoying:<br /><br />When there is no name/url option to "Comment As." <br /><br />As someone with a stand-alone Wordpress site, I don't have a Wordpress Account. Nor am I linked up with AIM, LiveJournal, Typepad, OpenID or any of the other options. So I can cannot comment on your blog, if there is no name/url option.<br /><br />And like you say, the spam filters are pretty good so why not allow stand-alone Worpdress bloggers the chance to share the comment love???madge | the vegetarian casserole queenhttp://www.vegetariancasserolequeen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224100136962162818.post-72389849572716042672012-09-06T19:39:24.904-07:002012-09-06T19:39:24.904-07:00Awesome list!
