I can just imagine the conversation now.

“So honey, what did you accomplish today”, asks DH.

“I installed the Do Follow Plugin for WordPress blogs today sweetie, it’s very exciting! Now we are a part of the I Follow movement!”

DH, “….”

“No - really, it IS exciting! Now the sweet bloggers who come to leave comments on our families blog will be able to have the web spiders crawl through their links to their own blogs, reaping the full optimization benefits of leaving comments on the blogs of others!”

DH, “….”

Well, this certainly isn’t going to excite EVERYBODY. But it does excite me! When bloggers are hard at work leaving their comments strewn about the blogosphere in the hopes that those website links they point back at their own blogs are going to do them some good - now it will.

And hopefully this will get all of my readers excited about commenting too! Soon there will be a pretty new button in my right hand side bar indicating that the no follow on my blog comments has been turned off, as well as a link to my comment policy, which I’ll be writing up as a post sometime soon (tonight? tomorrow? who knows how long the complete I Follow transformation will take?)

Maybe even you would like to join the I Follow movement taking place around the blogosphere (not only for WordPress blogs, but for everyone! See the link for details) - let loose the spiders!

Edited to add update.  Well, a couple of days after what I thought was our big I Follow transition, a comment came through from Penny Raine, and lo and behold, I spotted the no-follow was still hiding in her comment!  ARGH!  After I had installed the Dofollow and everything.   What’s a girl to do?  So, I headed over to visit Douglas Karr, found through a Google search to get some handy dandy tips on hacking the WordPress code for myself.  And that’s what I did.  Took hmmm, two minutes :).  Thanks Doug!!  Should be fixed for everyone, again, now, so comment away!
