Thanks for clarifying this Matt, it is an area I have been puzzling
about - the whole thread is very welcome.

Can I ask a couple of specific question?  Along with others, I link to
sites I've built because I want visitors to view them as examples, so
in that respect it's a perfectly honest link.  Should I, ideally,
nofollow them?

Secondly I have a family of sites, all related to a broad central
theme but each covering a discrete area.  Should all links between
this family group be nofollowed?

Becky
