I strongly encourage commenting by fellow bloggers and others. So I have disabled “nofollow” in comments which comes as default with WordPress 1.5 installations (with no in-built way to disable it) and many other blog software. Read our stand on nofollow for further details. I also provide a free WordPress 1.5 plugin to remove nofollow from your own WordPress 1.5 blog. Disabling nofollow in this blog allows your comments to contribute towards higher ranking of your own blog or website. Do not forget to include your favorite url to get link-love from us.
