You probably won’t have noticed, but there’s been a big change in the back-office workings of this blog.
Up until now, we’ve accepted the NOFOLLOW default of our software (WordPress): however, to be fair to people who take the time not just to read the posts (quite a lot of you) but to comment on them (not many of you) we’ve changed that. As of now, posts will follow links included in them, so if you make a comment on one of the posts here, you’ll get a link back to your website – something Google likes to see.
The downside is, of course, that in order to deal with the inevitable moronic spammers we’ll have to be hot on the moderation – so links won’t have the NOFOLLOW tag removed for a week after posting, to give us time to make sure nothing gets link-love that shouldn’t!
