Ell of Wilful Damage says there’s something Blogspot bloggers can do about the annoying “Objectionable Content” warning that shows up every single time anybody visits your blog.

In the big blog blockout of 2008 you may recall I somehow ended up with the infamous “Objectionable Content” warning page. That stung a little.

Flitting around the internet last week I noticed that some blogs have a different warning page – one that alerts to “Adult Content” rather than “Objectionable Content”

I am, dear readers slow on the uptake it would appear, for on further investigation I’ve found that now if you go into your Settings page you can set for “Adult Content” and this removes the “Objectionable Content” warning and replaces it with the all together more reasonable text below. It’s only a small thing, but “Adult” I can live with happily – “Objectionable” just made me sad.

She said it here.

No, you can’t turn it all the way off but I agree with Ell that “Adult Content” is typically way more accurate than “Objectionable Content.” For instance “objectionable content” might refer to commercial spam, racist, homophobic, factually inaccurate, egregiously personal-characterizing, random, unattributed reposting of other people’s work, and so on. “Adult Content” is more likely to be just about sex.
