The blog thing I mentioned I was curious about since I'd seen talk of it and announcement of it on google itself. About that nofollow attrib for href tags.
I took it to mean that some popular blog software makers, in conjunction with google yahoo and msn, were going to help site owners to stop spiders from following the bulk of irrelevant links in posts. I dont "blog" myself, but I assumed it meant that only certain people could post links that were allowed to be followed, so as to keep things relevant.

Is that the way it's supposed to be working?

I've been toying with the idea of placing the attribute on select links to see any effect.

That no follow tag thing was all a big publicity stunt!

The blog owners out there whined that they had all kinds of people running post bots and filling up their comments with spam - of course anyone of those blog owners could have done some real simple Webmastering and prevented them - well the SEs decided they wanted to look "good" to the public in "their fight against spam" so they agreed to announce they would honor the tag nofollow in links.
The only problem with all of this is that those same whiney cant do anything for themselves blog owners are now going to have to go edit every one of their comment form links

which wont happen and eveyone will still be spammin blogs just as much
