WP adds nofollow by default, which is stupid.

I fot the dofollow plugin installed on my blog to give credit to my commenters.

It also adds rel="nofollow" so that if a spam message gets through, google doesn’t count it as a link.

Prob is, this means that genuine commentators are losing out as well. we need to start a campaign to get bloggers to remove this plugin if their spam protection is working, as all they are doing is penalising their readers who also have blogs

Blank Target Comments if I am not wrong, doesn’t block spam, it just adds a target="_blank" to urls in the comments.

No Ping Wait is to speed up posting by moving the pinging requests that you send while publishing the posts to an external file. Helps to speed up posting a bit, though I guess you faced some problems.

And I have to start optimizing my blog as well. Come Jan :)

Yep, I know. My server gives me the load and also a percentage number, which is representative of how much resource it has left.

Just to let you know that “load” does not represent a percent. There is actually a lot more to the calculation in Linux (it’s not the CPU Usage). My typical load is around 0.3 to 0.8 but I have seen it spike up to 30 and still maintain its composure, but it crashes after 45-50. (yes, those are whole numbers, I didn’t forget the decimal place). Look on the internet and you should be able to find more information if you want.

Re: No Ping Wait – I’m new to blogging, had a lot of trouble with Trackbacks – they were driving me mad. Anyway, my troubles soon vanished after disabling ‘No Ping Wait’ – I get Feedburner to deal with pings now.
