How to add NoFollow to the WordPress Blogroll

I have just posted a little tutorial on how to add NoFollow to your WordPress blogroll over at Dowan.org. If you want your WordPress to automatically add the attribute nofollow to your blogroll links, you should head over and read it!

Why add nofollow?
As suggested by Google, it’s best to use rel=”nofollow” to avoid any potential backlash from the external links in the blogroll. However, I should also mention that there is some very strong criticism against it as well. This is up to you if you want to use it or not. If you decide to, here is how to get WordPress to automatically add the attribute nofollow to your blogroll links.

Tips on how to choose a credit card

When getting a credit card it is always good to do some research about different cards and their benefits before you decide which one to go with.

A good way to start is to go to http://gettingacreditcard.com which is a big resource of online credit card applications .The credit card offers on their site are from the most well known credit card issuers in the business.

You can search for credit cards either by choosing a category or by issuers and providers. When you are done searching you can compare credit cards offers so you easier can choose which one that will be best for you.

On the website you can also take a look at some credit card and credit related articles. There you will find answers on questions like “What to do if your Credit Card is Lost or Stolen in a Foreign Country”, “What happens to my credit card debt if I die?” and “What To Do When Your Credit Card Is Lost Or Stolen” as well as many other articles.

They also provide a resource center with tips and ideas on how to applying for a credit online, information about what types of credit cards there is and tips on how to use a credit card safely.

What text would you like to have on your very own blogging t-shirt?
