   Is this a setting in WP? This makes a lot of sense and is a great idea.

   @All,

   For those interested in how you can turn off the “nofollow” rule, here is what I did.
   I downloaded and activated the “Do Follow” Wordpress plugin from: http://www.semiologic.com/software/wp-fixes/dofollow/ .
   That is all you have to to do to make sure you follow comments. I also decided to download a “U Comment I Follow” logo created by Randa Clay. They are free to use and can be found at her site: http://randaclay.com/blog/i-follow/

   This is great news. I congragulate you to open the door for dofollow which will in fact promote your traffic to write comments giving a backlink to us. Thanks a lot.

    I think that this is one of the best way to motivate users to comment, the bad of this is that u can´t know when a comment is a good one or not.

    One thing I’m confused about. I’m putting together my new blog and I don’t quite understand something about the U comment/I follow plugin. If you use that, can you still moderate the commenets before they get posted? It seems like if you couldn’t, then you would get slammed with spam.

    @Dale,

    You absolutely can moderate the comments before they appear on your site. You definitely want to turn on your spam filtering software or plug-in regardless of whether you “do follow” or not.

    I think have a do follow blog greatly adds to user commentary, thus making the blog seem “alive”. I’m glad to see that other bloggers are beginning to join the revolution.
