    This is the wrong section.
    WP comments are nofollowed by default.

    Not sure I understood you're question, but if you want to switch to "followed" links, there is a WP plugin called "do follow".
    Just Google it, you'll find it.

    Well I checked it out and it is nofollow.

    I think what you are trying to ask is to remove the link. i.e. not have a link at all. For that you will have to edit the theme.

    Btw nofollow is a rule for the search engines not to follow the link, it is not applicable to humans/visitors.

    Cheers!!!

    Blogs by default are nofollow. To remove the link completely, do as trafficfacts said and alter your theme.
