DISQUS

Thanks for being a part of the "I Follow" movement. I don't know why Wordpress doesn't just make NoFollow/DoFollow an option in the dashboard. At any rate, I think you have a great site going here. I need to make myself a plugins used page like you have.

Cheers, Jason. I think that the "I Follow" movement has done pretty well since it was named by Randa and I am happy to represent it as a blogger.

My site is part of the movement as well. I'm hoping that Wordpress catches on eventually and adds it in as an option. Maybe someone should ask them about it. I will check these other plugins out as well.

Late reply to Aimee, but I do think that it would be a good idea for WordPress to make it standard in the newest update.

@bull3t - What is your reasoning behind that thought? Increasing the functionality of the platform would be a benefit to all. Is there some underlying issue that you see that would cause you to lean that way? Just to be clear, I am referring to the comment you made on June 7th....

I joined in and created my own button-image on my blog's footer, to remove the "nofollow" code on comments I had to install this plugin.

What is your experience with Wordpress stats? I have read a few reports that it slows down your blog because it accesses your database too much. For stats I have just been using Google Analytics, which I install manually (without a plugin)

Yeah, WordPress stats does seem to slow down the blog; but my blog is slow enough that you wouldn't notice if I turned it off. Haha, I have way too many plugins and modifications and the K2 theme doesn't help much either.

Really, DoFollow movement is great!
I'm very appreciate for your help with these plugins!

I thought allowing dofollow comments would increase spam and hurt search rankings. But since it helps to stimulate comments, it is certainly worthwhile.

I have a question.> I am ENTIRELY new to the whole blogging world.. Can you use these plug ins on a blog that is hosted BY wordpress, or do you have to install your own blog on your host and add plugins that way??

sorry for my newbie-ness

Lindsay, I believe you have to host your own WordPress blog to be able to use the WordPress plugins.

Great write up and review of necessary WP plugins. I used to be a strong advocate of Akismet as another additional level of 'spam' blocking. Although after implementing it I had several of my top commenter's disappear to email me that they were pissed I was 'blocking' their comments and filtering them out. Needless to say I removed that plugin ASAP. For those of you that are having trouble losing some of your best commenters that could be the reason why.
