If you really don't want people to follow you back to your blog, sign out before commenting.

If yes, removing it from there is probably the solution.

Not that I mind too much, but I'm still experimenting with the blog and its not really ready for public outing yet. And I would certainly like to be able to choose whether or not to have my profile on view.

Is there a way of stopping this?
