  “Very cool. This is going to be a big help for my weekly reviews, too.
  Thanks for posting it!

  As an aside…on your captcha, it would be very hard for a blind or
  colorblind person to leave you a comment. About 5% of all men and women
  are colorblind and are unable to differentiate between red and green.

  Obviously, if you’re blind and using a text-to-speech aide to surf the
  web, you wouldn’t be able to navigate this captcha (or almost any
  captcha) at all.

  >From an accessibility standpoint, may I recommend that you include, ON
  THE PAGE WHERE YOU POST A COMMENT, a means for these individuals to
  contact you to post their comments in a way that doesn’t involve a
  visual checkpoint? I can see that they can email you if they have
  problems after hitting the “”submit”” button, but I would think that most
  would give up before even entering a comment if they don’t see the link
  for problems on the comment entry page. (If your letters didn’t show up
  for some reason, I wouldn’t have tried to enter a random color and
  submit just to see if I guessed correctly and/or the problem email link
  just happened to be on the next page).

  Alternately, you could have the captcha be text-based, like a paragraph
  of text following a statement asking someone to identify the third word
  of the paragraph. You could make this as dynamic as you wanted with a
  little scripting, or just keep it static and revolve the text and the
  keyword to validate the comment on a regular basis.

  Just some suggestions to try to help keep the web accessible for those
  with some form of visual impairment.
