		<description>I explained most of my reasons in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bloggingtips.com/2007/07/31/top-commentators-list-removed-from-blogging-tips/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;. The biggest factor was people turbo posting poor comments in a bid to get to the top of the list. It rewards those who comment often but those people are not always your best commentators (sometimes they are). All in all, I thought the cons outweighed the pros so decided to drop it. </description>

		<description>I agree with you Kev. I&#039;m interested to know why you dropped the plugin. I never tried it and while i like the idea of rewarding commenters, I didn&#039;t think that was the best way to do it. I didnt want to reward just the top commenters and I was afraid it would encourage spammy comments. I chose to use the &quot;link love&quot; plugin. </description>

		<description>I&#039;ve changed my mind a few times on different aspects of my site.   
 
I had dofollow, then I dropped it when I found most of my readers and commentors didn&#039;t have websites of their own. 
 
I reduced the size of my MyBlogLog widget because it was getting in the way of other things I wanted more. 
 
I&#039;m switching my sidebar content around constantly, trying to find something I like for more than a week. 
 
Gotta keep an open mind. </description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t agree more. 
 
I subscribed to a blog a while ago, and she changed something on her blog. I went public in my criticism of her, but after reading a few more of her articles, I did realise I was being stupid, and resubscribed and apologised. 
 
If you were to read my blog, you&#039;d find all sorts of places where I change my opinion! </description>
