    Which links should be nofollow in a WP blog?

    1. "About us", "Contact us" and such
    2. Archives
    3. Categories (I guess not)
    4. Tag archives
    5. Recent readers, Recent comments, Most commented posts
    6. social bookmarking and blog links (digg, technoratti...)

    In which file changes (in bold) should be made? (I can make unbold changes from "Options")

    I am not sure what is your question, but WP is "dofollow" the commenting area is "nofollow" though.

    I can make all those links nofollow, only don't know if I should or not.

    What plugin will you be using to make them no follow? Is it easy to configure which links to set no follow?

    Yes, the point is there are many links on the home page, and they kind a "steal PR" from it, as I hear...So I was thinking to make nofollow Recent readers, Recent comments, Social bm buttons, Archives, and those "About us" and such links.

    Not sure about tag archives.

    I think categories should stay dofollow.
