The guys on my blogroll are definitely worth it and I only dofollow their links in my posts, if absolutely necessary.

I'm feeling pretty proud of myself because I didn't even ask for help. I found my way into a couple of Nucleus plugin codes and managed to work out how to include a nofollow for any links provided by syndicated RSS feeds, such as my Stumbleupon blog. Now my leaking pagerank problems should be a thing of the past :-) Thanks Josh, you learn something new every day, all I need now is a pagerank to protect LOL!

Because I'm using an RSS feed, via a plugin for most of the sidebar links I'm not sure how, or even if, I can nofollow them. Yep, I'd say you've given me some food for thought.

Of course my blogs rankings aren't incredibly off the charts yet, but I do know it's good practice.

I display social blogging widgets in my sidebar, this gives exposure to my visitors and their posts. I also syndicate my Stumbles RSS feed in the sidebar, and, also using RSS, the recent post from a Bumpzee community that I feel is relevant to my blog and changes with my mood. Additionally there is a feed excerpt from 5Star affiliate forums and blogs. Presumably this means I am leaking rank like a sieve! Should I reconsider my generosity with my sidebar link love I wonder?

Basically he recommends adding one page for your entire blogroll, then displaying 5 random entries in the sidebar with a link to the blogroll page (he tells you how to do this). I don't have a blogroll yet, but it will be coming soon and both you and Dane will be on it. Hi Josh,

I am still learning about this area and I guess I kinda stumbled onto it in the sense that my 'blogroll' really sits on one page ("Links"). Reading this, I will look more into it and in the meantime, it shall remain status quo taking into consideration what you have said here. In practise, I am also more likely to show link love by linking to others' individual pages within posts - the whole thing is still very new to me and coming to grips with it.

I tend to be pretty generous with sitewide linking (to friends' sites as well as other blogs), but I'm not sure it's not to any great end anyway. I guess the smart thing to do instead would be to dedicate a page to outbound links, and link to THAT page with a sitewide internal link instead. It would also help reduce clutter.
