    Hi I have a question… I wanted to see is posts that others make on my blog are set with the “nofollow” attribute. If so can this be changed? I wanted to allow people to link back to their pages if needed.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    All wordpress.COM blogs are no-follow blogs. What that means is commenters usernames are linked to their sites but there is no transfer of pagerank simply because they post a comment on your blog. No this cannot be changed on a wordpress.com free hosted blog.

    If you wish to have do-follow comment links then you will have to hire a web host, download a free software install from wordpress.org and install a plugin to change the links. Then you can use the exporter and importer to transfer your blog content from your free hosted wordpress.COM blog to a wordpress.ORG install.

    There is no FTP access to free hosted wordpress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins into them. Please see this support document > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    HOWEVER from time to time they update the Recent Comments widget and those links occasionally become FOLLOW, as do the links in the blogroll. It’s random and only sometimes, though.
