NOFOLLOW tag

[RedCardinal]

Just wondering who uses the NOFOLLOW tag in their blog comments.

Wondering because:
1. I'm new to blogs
2. I moderate the comments so I dont really mind giving back some friendly PR.
3. Google sitemaps told me last night that about half of my blog pages are medium PR

I have the nofollow tag off.
Why?

I don't link back to crap sites

I second that and have mines off as well, at least I think I do - is there an easy way to check that?

Have a look at the source when someone posts a link.

Wordpress and a lot of other blogging software will add in the "nofollow" by default, so I had to use a plugin for wordpress to turn it off, whereas Movable Type lets you simply choose to turn the option on or off as you choose

I disable hyperlinks in my blog comments. The penultimate blog comment spam defense (short of disallowing blog comments)

If I didn't have hyperlinks in my comments they'd be really boring ....
