Now that I have got comment spam under control, I’ve decided to “dofollow” the links on blog comments.

Only the links at the top of each comment are followed, not any links inside the comment itself.

If you are unsure of exactly “dofollow” entails, it means that every time you comment on this blog a little piece of link love flows through the interweb tubes to help your site get noticed by search engines.

Spammy or pointless comments like “Hi, nice site” will be deleted to maintain quality as before. Oh and older comments get link love too.

Thanks to Randa Clay for the graphic.

This post just claims my blog on BlogLines.

I see some spammers have already found this blog, so comments are disabled for the time being until I can get a fix in place. They should be reinstated soon, sorry for the delay.

Akismet should be doing its thing now and filtering out most of the spam, but manual moderation is also taking place. Thanks for your patience.

This post just contains my technorati claim:

The MMMeeja website was updated this weekend with quite a few changes. It's been static for a while but that the blogging software has been installed, future changes should be much easier to make.

The biggest change is, of course, our blog. It replaces the older "articles" section (redirects are in place, so there's no need to update your bookmarks) but unlike the older articles, blog entries accept comments. Let us know what you think.

If you spot anything that doesn't quite work as it should or could be improved, please leave a comment about that too.

There have also been quite a few behind the scenes tweaks, and there is still a lot of work to do so check back to the meta section for further updates.
