Hi Boris,

Thanks for dropping by again. To be honest, it's been awhile since I last visited your blog too. I remember a pingback from your blog somewhere here... Anyways, I agree that it encourages better comments left by readers.

On the other side of things, I am trying out IntenseDebate. Any thoughts about that?

Nic.

My understanding is backlinking does have a positive effect on PR. That is one of the sole purpose weblogs use plugins like commentluv.

Lizzie, Thanks for your input.

Paula, I believe Bhaya Cruises has off-season prices. The last trip I made was about USD200+ I think. They have a last minute deals notification if you sign-up to their mailing list.
