I usually give links to my older posts on the comments only when a reader ask about it. Mostly I tried to revive my old posts on the post itself Hmm..interesting.

Now I will do it more proactively. Thanks! I have been doing this from time to time, when it is faster to link to a more expansive answer to a question. Now I will do it more proactively.

Love the boxing granny. Would it be possible to quickly explain (or do you have a post to link to? :) ) about what 'no follow' and the 'do follow' thing means? I've heard it a few times and don't quite understand it. (If it's too long for a quick answer, don't bother). Thanks! Great idea Michael, I’ll certainly keep this one in mind.

I will be more aware of this technique and the power it can wielded. I have been doing this on occasion but hadn’t thought of it as a good way to build links.

Tis by far the best means of keeping my info threaded & sharing past posts w/new readers. Speaking of threading, I'm about to migrate my blog to WordPress (as was the plan all along ^_^) but hate to lose my threaded comments. Was hoping the solution was a plug-in but do I need to plan for it in my theme?! Thanx in advance for any & all advice!

Massive quantities of alcohol will often help this along nicely. Of course it can become assault, bullying, and abuse. But a man hitting a woman is basically an instant visceral signal for abuse. Even if the person in the original photo was a man, enough people thought he looked like a woman for me to pull it. If two people said something, how many thought it but didn't say anything? Boxing gloves signal it's all in fun and sport. Especially boxing gloves on old ladies! :) @Kelly - Guys fight for sport and are expected to get into a brawl once in a great while.

I do this all the time and not just on MwP. If I have a post that's relevant, I'll stick a link in. I'm more apt to do it on our own blog, since I'm never really sure if doing it on someone else's blog is in poor taste or not. I also have a pretty good memory, and when a commentor brings up a subject I know I've written about and needs help, I'll add a link as naturally as inserting something into a conversation. Guess when it comes to tooting my own horn, I'm not as forward as King James. Anyway, thanks for the compliments (and the links!) @Michael: You know, this is exactly what I was talking about later on in that comment thread about doing things that just feel right and not thinking about all the hows and whys behind it.

Getting hit is probably not much fun whoever you are. Being a growlin' granny, on the other hand, probably is fun. Old photo went only two rounds. KO to grandma. Michael,
