Hi Ben,
“…When a MyBlogLog user visits your blog and leave a comment, his MyBlogLog photo will be shown…”
I mentioned to you that Gravatar is a better option as the name means Globally Recognized Avatar as most blogs now support Gravatar.

Hi,
Think that your comment about permitting do follow links on your blog is critical and a point well made. Depends on the niche but in some niches the only way to encourage commenting is to offer a do follow link in return. It’s not human nature to do something for nothing in return and the same applies to leaving comments on blogs.
Great post by the way!

I have to say that Google sitemap is a must have for all sites, not only for wordpress. Creating and submitting a Sitemap helps make sure that search engines know about all the pages on your site.
