I am using Disqus Comment System v2.61 and it shows comments as nofollow. This is a concern for several WordPress users as their commentators may not be interested to comment if they get no link love via comment url.

Following is the new comments.php which shows the links as do-follow. Continue Reading

I have installed Firefox 4 in my Debian Testing installation from Launchpad PPA. It is quite stable and I have decided to use it instead of Firefox 3. Most of the addons I used is compatible with Firefox 4 by now. However, the version of Greasemonkey available in Mozilla Firefox Addons Site is not compatible with Mozilla Firefox v4 latest build. To install the latest nightly build of Greasemonkey, I went to Greasemonkey Nightly Download and installed it. However Greasefire is not available, we can install userscripts directly from Userscripts website for now.
