Why do you have a "nofollow" in the comment links?
WordPress comes with a follow-url plugin. Use it. ;)
I link in my blog to extjs and all my tutorials too. Give a little bit back.:D

We didn't change that stuff, it's the WordPress default. I believe it is there to prevent spammers from benefiting or something like that? We definitely don't mind linking, I just don't don't know exactly how to do it. ;)

here is the plugin "follow-url". its official part from the WordPress German Editon. It removes that nofollow from external commentlinks.

Correct. See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Nofollow.

And that is why I don't want to just enable it for everyone but I would like the ability to create a whitelist of urls that the nofollow can be removed from.
