You comment, I follow
There’s been many times that I’ve become frustrated that people don’t get linkage from commenting. I know, it probably defeats the whole Search Engine Optimization thing, but I still think people should get links if they comment on my site. So, following Michael’s lead, I’ve decided to get rid of my nofollow status. It probably doesn’t mean much to those that don’t also blog, but basically, I downloaded a nice plugin that takes the nofollow off. So, those that comment with a website will get the link love. 
Random site thing really. I’ll write a real post later, for those that don’t enjoy this post.

The whole “no follow” thing is just stupid, really, because one of the incentives for people leaving comments on new sites is to get the linkage. Take this away, and they have no reasons to leave comments unless the post is something really worthwhile.
