I'VE NO IDEA WHY: but Google Blogger Blogspot Bloodclot whatever they call themselves have recommenced requiring a check-word (or should I spell that a Czech-word) because most of them seem to originate from the Czech dictionary) whenever I attempt a post today.
And when I was last logged on and attempted a test post earlier, although the random letters were accepted and my post joined the index of previous posts - somehow it never actually got published in my blog at all! I've absolutely no idea why. But am attempting again.
Here we go...

OK: no idea what happened there but. Ta-daaa!!

How frustrating when cybernautical things fail to work! It's like shouting into a hexadecimal black hole ... where no-one can hear you scream...!
Google, do, after all, have the majority of Planet Earth's 70,000,000 or so blogs under their "auspices". So it's no wonder the odd little hiccup occurs.
I just find it annoying that this attempted security springs from inbuilt presumption that my intermittently liberal sprinklings of links (which involve publishing a post, leaving it, looking up the next url, re-entering, highlighting and adding and publishing again: maybe twenty or more times in as many minutes) somehow point to some porn-or-spam (or both) dodginess on my part. When, in all actuality, all I was trying to do was fasten The Secret of Spiggy Holes book review to my last Enid Blyton reminiscence ... Nowt more sinister than that, I'm afraid ...
Okay, okay! Let's see how I get on now!

Published fine (unlike earlier) ... but still am obliged to enter "vjqwj" before setting my babble free upon the world. What a conundrum ... (the letters? or their reason for being there ..??) ...

Weird Gleds....strange things happen in Blogworld!
very annoying too!
as long as it does not happen to my blog, it's funny. hehe :P
har har thanks a lot electroplonky!
I remember writing something about Enid Blyton a few posts ago somewhere in the comments but I don't know if it was on my blog or yours. I think it was about the Magic Faraway tree but I can't remember and really this comment hasn't much purpose then. I really wish that I could get email notification when someone answers a comment. I know it works on my own blog but not when you leave comments on others.
o no it doesn't ... i tried to get a comment back I left on raymi the minx's blog about american money ... she did look for me but came up with another post with money in the picture ... really hard to find such stuff sometimes
i only wanted it back as i thought it was a particulary witty & succinct rant of mine!
Nicole btw you did leave that comment on mine I plainly remember it ... let me have a look ...

Bom dia, Rose!
(is that correct?)
Hi Gleds. The word check, or what ever they call, it prevents cyber robots from leaving comments on a blog. Some anonymous or not so anonymous comments are programs that scan blogs for keywords and then leave a scripted comment that is meant to get the reader to click back, thus garnering the robot sender a click and pay reward or a visit to a commercial blog by an unsuspecting community blogger—all without ever having a real person read your blog and offering up an honest opinion or sincere wish.
It gets annoying but having one's blog flooded with those types of comments are even more annoying. It's just another form of spam. Original thought must be protected. Otherwise, people will cease to read the threads left on blogs if they have to weed through the comments designed to trick them into going somewhere uninteresting or to a place to get the money that none of us really have. But we do have valuable time that these little buggers are happy to waste.
Hope all is well otherwise.

Hi Waywards I only just got ur comment just now... i never realized commenting was so fraught with complications... how can you get paid per click? well ads get paid per click. i know you're not allowed to ask ppl to click them... but if you DO the person who put them up gets may be - WOO 10 or 15 cents!! (per click)...
i will have to reread and digest your info bc my brain feels like a venus flytrap's stomach at the moment. i.e. if you put a piece of cheese in it it will die
o btw it's still doing it 2day
that annoying czech dictionary thing
& it's STILL doing it today ... but the words have softened a bit, plumped up with vowels... some pan-slavic drift towards Polish perhaps
