Another way to promote yourself and your blog is to write a short blurb at the end of each comment you post.

Spammers know this and that's why this blog has been under attack from them for years. What they don't know is that we have instituted a site-wide NOFOLLOW rule for all of our comments. What does it mean?

We get about 2000 comment spams a day. On a slow day. Many unethical SEO companies try to embed links in our blogs so they can poach and use for their splogs our reputation and high-ranking in search engines like Google.

So, I have taken the drastic measure to block all search engine traffic from our comments section. ALL OF IT. This means you will not get any search engine benefits from links in our comments, but you will get whatever traffic is generated when someone clicks on a link to your organization or blog.

With that clarified, let's get into the nitty gritty of creating a comments footer. We have added an entry form in your account settings to simplify the process.

How to update your Comments Settings

1. On the left-side of the blog you will see a box with your name. That's your navigation block.

Click on "My Account" to go to your profile page.

2. Once on your profile page, click on the "Edit" tab to change your profile settings.

3. Scroll down the page until you find the "Comments Settings".

4. Write in a short blurb with only one link to your blog --please keep HTML to a bare minimum. If you don't, we reserve the right to edit and/or remove this feature from your membership privileges.

5. Click on "Submit" to save your new "Comments Settings".

Previous comments will not be updated, but from now on all comment boxes will be pre-loaded with your footer --which, btw, you will be able to re-format however way you want.

That's it. You have completed the second step to culturekitchen pimpitude.
