Front-End Book is a Comment-friendly Blog

I have added three new features to this blog in order to give people who comment a little extra back whenever they take some time and add a comment to my postings.

1. Remove nofollow on comments

We are using the plugin NoFollow Free by  Michele Marcucci. That plugin removes the nofollow from author links in comments when a user has submitted x number of approved comments. On Front-End Book you must have 5 approved comments before the nofollow attribute is removed from author links.

2. Automagically add back link to commentors blog

CommentLuv by Andy Bailey lets you automagically add a link to posters last blog post if a feed is found on the site the athor of the comment has in its author link. We use CommentLuv on Front-End Book and when you comment and use an url where your blog is, CommentLuv will show last blog post.

3. Top list of commenters

To the right we are from today starting to list our best commenters with their name linked to their website and with the number of comments next to them.
Keep up the commenting!

    That’s great to hear! There’s also another plugin called KeywordLuv that is the same ‘family’ as CommentLuv.

    thanks for installing commentluv!
    if you want the heart to appear next to the post instead of below it, you can add this to your style sheet

    abbr em img { float: none !important; margin: 2px !important }

  3. That is great to hear. I’m using both NoFollow Free & CommentLuv as I feel I should be giving something back to my visitors because as you say, they’ve taken the time to visit and post.

    I don’t know why dofollow is not enabled by default.

  4. Thanks for joining to Dofollow community :) You can send your site to dofollow.us.

    Regards

  5. I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future. And as a designer, I think you have a pretty nice layout :)
