WordPressGarage listed as one of Top 40 Blogs About WordPress!

I don’t know how I missed this, but our very own WordPressGarage has been listed as one of the Top 40 Blogs About WordPress over at WP Themes Gallery.com. We’re number 33, which isn’t too bad since that means we’re not number 40 (always looking at the bright side). It’s pretty flattering, considering some of the heavyweights on that list like Lorelle, Small Potato and Matt.

Thanks to Headsetoptions for the post which pointed me to this list.

DoFollow plugin - sharing the love

I recently posted a comment on a blog, and was surprised to get a trackback link as a result from their blog. Suddenly I understood what all the excitement is over turning off the NoFollow links from commenters. Why not make those links real? So I’ve installed DoFollow here on WordPressGarage.com, and we’ll see how it goes.

I chose to install the Semiologic plugin because it is the most simple - it just turns on all comment links. The reason I felt that this was sufficient is that I have this blog set up so that I have to approve comments the first time they are posted from a reader, and then after that they appear automatically. So I’m not worried that comments that appear are spam, since I’ve approved them.

DoFollow

[This plugin] will disable the automatic rel="nofollow" attributes added to external links. You may want to do this if you have good spam filtering for your comments, or if your blog is moderated. Optionally you can also set a comment age limit for adding the attributes.
