I decided I’d like to have something in my sidebar indicating to my future readers that I’ve turned off the nofollow in my comments, and I thought others might be interested as well. So, I’ve set up a page that has the little logo you see to the right in several different colors and some CSS code that would work well if you weren’t interested in a graphic. What do you think? I think if you Digg this post, we could spread the “movement” to more than just the small (but growing) list of bloggers who are already on board*:

Thank you for the list!
I have always found that allowing the “follow” gives more people incentive to leave a comment. As you mention in another post, however, it sometimes does cause others to take advantage and not want to leave actual legit comment.
This puts respectable people in a serious dilemma. I created a few blogs, one of my first being about Choosing Wine. I allowed follow and submitted a posting that the nofollow was turned off.
I received tons of “cool site” or “I love wine” comments with advertisements as names.
So do you decline the comment or live up to the principle and allow the comment with follow.
Notice how I got my link in and created a statement while leaving my alias with my legit business name. People it is here for a reason to help but dont abuse it.
Thanks Randa!
