Why? Well because sometimes I don't get the letters right and it is frustrating and then, the music is just distracting. However I think if you want to have your playlist on your blog and people can scroll through and listen as they choose now that is a nice option. Just my thoughts.Head Cookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878795387580544093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36300005.post-12171627800816560402008-05-30T08:05:00.000+01:002008-05-30T08:05:00.000+01:00I disliked music widgets on blogs I ran out and go...I disliked music widgets on blogs I ran out and got one. I love double standards almost more than I love widgets. But, I don't have my music on automatic start ... rather if you want to listen you can. I change the music once in a while and let people know when I do ... I'm sure most people don't listen to it. But I like it.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you on the comment thing tho, but I turn mine on when I get a lot of spam, then when the spam dies down I turn it off again.MYMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679094659957098225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36300005.post-80297727436756598522008-05-30T04:47:00.000+01:002008-05-30T04:47:00.000+01:00The verification squiggly letters makes you pull o...The verification squiggly letters makes you pull out your hair.<BR/>I don't mind music as long as it is not heavy metal or so but than you can always mute it.Marjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458942200244031009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36300005.post-21665425201559010812008-05-30T04:25:00.000+01:002008-05-30T04:25:00.000+01:00Well, I have to agree with you about the limited c...Well, I have to agree with you about the limited choice on entering your information the way you choose. I've actually entered a comment just to scroll down and only have that option. The swiggly (I think that word is funny) letters are okay because the purpose--to keep spam down. The third, the background music, doesn't really bother me since I usually keep the mute button on.

I don't really mind, but like you I often have to type it in twice (I get stuck on your images site fairly often, actually). But that's OK. And normally I just have the speakers turned off, when I blog but today they happened to be on and I was quite delighted when I opened your blog and Sarah Brightman was singing. I don't notice it takes any longer to load, but I do have DSL. I wouldn't even attempt to blog if I had dialup.<BR/>Uh, did I answer the question?

For that matter, does my blog ask for them? please let me know. I have no idea how to get rid of them if I can! It's funny you talk about the music, I just recently put playlist on, because I wanted certain songs to go with certain blog posts, YET it IS something that drives me crazy! ( If I don't want to hear it, I just lower it ) haha I guess I should delete that whole idea, It also makes blogs load slower, no?<BR/>I would love to ask dickiebo... How to give people the choice?? <BR/>Please someone tell me if my blog is doing annoying, slow or weird things... I have felt a decline in visitors...

Worst is when bloggers have the that with comment moderation.
