As regular Blogging Tips commentators know, i removed the no follow link from Blogging Tips 2 months ago. This means that page rank will be given to the blogs and websites of those who post a comment.

As i stated before, i’m baffled why so many bloggers made a fuss about this as any page rank benefit from commentating will be pretty low and bloggers should be trying to raise their page rank via advertising and writing good posts. However, i was more than happy to remove the ‘no follow’ link cos…

One of my favourite wordpress themes has just been updated. Bosco 1.0 was a great theme which i still use on one of my other blogs. The coding was good too and it helped me learn how the wordpress templating works so i was pleased to see that Bosco 2.0 has just been released.

The theme does not differ too much from the original theme but it is suitable for the latest version for wordpress and is widget ready too.
