Inappropriate?Hi There,
Currently there's no setting to change links within you're blog to "nofollow" - there's somewhat of a debate within the SEO community as to what benefit they really do give - the main reason is that it's still not fully understood as to how search engines use them to list/rate/rank your site accordingly - for those who do not know about this attribute here's a link for more information.
The main thing is that by keeping the nofollow link "switched on" you're benefiting from a higher page rank which in turn pushes your site up in terms of relevancy. Linking to other sites with this attribute switched off means you're potentially "giving away" your PR (Page rank) to the other site.
If alot of people feel strongly about this then log as an idea/improvement and we'll see if we can get it onto the development roadmap.
Thanks!
Brian.
