Do-Follow – How to make Typepad play nice

After yesterday’s post about thanking your commenters by implementing the “do-follow” philosophy a few readers that use Typepad were wanting to know how they could also make their blogs commenter-friendly (after all I only shared the plugin that worked for Wordpress users).

Unfortunately for Typepad users it isn’t as easy as just installing and activating a plugin. For Typepad you need to :

1. have the Professional level service which allows you access to Advanced templates
2. be confident enough to change the code on the comment-list module (or have access to some who can change this for you)

WARNING !!! CODE ALERT !! GEEKY STUFF AHEAD!!

If you want to get geeky and modify the code yourself then you need to get yourself over to Mike Sansone’s post at Converstations for full details on how to take the DIY approach. If you would like some help with this then I am happy to provide you with whatever level of geek factor you need.

I hope this helps Steve.
