I switched The Captain over to Do-Follow late last week and I thought I’d announce it officially today.

What’s ‘Do Follow’?

That means that the URL you leave with your name when you leave a comment will get a little bit of link juice when google comes by and follows that link. Most blogs build on WordPress (like this one) automatically have google stay away from comment links. Being the (mostly) nice pirate that I am, I have decided to lift this restriction.

A few guidlines to consider when commenting:
These have always been in effect, I’m just voicing them.

  • I do see the comments before they appear, so if you wouldn’t let someone post that comment on your site, should I? I’m referring to poor grammar and Spammy link-heavy comments, not those that contradict me. In fact, I like posting dissenting opinions, it helps spark good conversation.
  • �As long as it’s not ‘porn or pills’ you can link to whatever you want in the ‘URL’ field of the comment. However, I do ask that links in the body of the comment at least be remotely relevant to what we are talking about.
  • No Ninja’s allowed.

So do-follow your little hearts out mateys, it’s Monday!
