 * I have been trying to install any and all types of captchas for my blog. It has
   been inundated with spam the past few months (something I only found recently
   showing up in my feed), and I need to up my security. I want to install captcha
   codes for leaving comments.
 * The website is: [http://www.theastromaidchronicles.com](http://www.theastromaidchronicles.com)
 * Also, when I try these plugins, I’ve made sure that the others are DEACTIVATED
   while working with new ones. I.E. I don’t have all captcha plugins activated 
   at the same time.
 * I have tried several different captca plugins (Better WordPress reCaptcha; Captcha;
   Alpha Omega Captcha; Easy Captcha) and each time, the captcha code NEVER shows
   up in the comment part of a post. However, if I try to submit a comment (while
   NOT logged in as myself, so I just appear as any old user), it tells me that 
   my captcha input was wrong and I should try again, or some variation of that.
   But the captcha code never shows up!
 * ANY help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am sensing this has something
   to do with the theme, since once of these plugins specifically said their plugin
   only works with WP, unmodified themes. I’m not sure, I just want to get this 
   captcha up so I can stop the spam!
 * Thank you in advance!!
