"U Comment, I Follow" Tue 01 May 07

You may have noticed a graphic in the left column that says "U Comment, I Follow".  What it means is that I've gotten rid of the default "nofollow" format for comments.  As Mike Sansone explains "if you've left a comment (and I thank you), there has been a redirect page and a nofollow link. This means that search engines ignore your link".   In the blogosphere links are the currency of the realm so ignored links are not a good thing.  Fortunately that is now fixed.

Thanks  to Grigor Ćorić for alerting me to this.  Until his post I wasn't even aware of this issue.  Thanks to Mike Sansone for showing me how to do this in TypePad and Randa Clay Design for the cool graphic.
