Why You Should Leave a Comment or Two…

9:54 am in Announcements by Gaz

I made a few adjustments to the site recently that I neglected to announce here:

  1. The “You Comment/I Follow” badge in the sidebar indicates that I’ve set up comments to let search engines follow the links back to your website. Normally, comment links include a “nofollow” attribute that stops this happening, but there doesn’t appear to be any sound reason for doing that so I’ve joined the movement to banish the evil “nofollow” attribute from your comments. So if you’d like a free link back to your site, just leave an on-topic comment here, and you’ll have your wish!
  2. Now that I’m collecting a small number of comments on most of my posts, I’ve reinstated the “Top Commentators” list at the bottom of the sidebar. That means you will get a link back to your site from the front page of my blog if you are one of the top commentators for this site. At the moment, it’s really easy to get in the list too… just 3 comments ought to do the trick.
