I noticed something on a google blog when writing my own blog post and naturally came here to see if Philip had mentioned anything. I didn't see anything, but if it's been covered before please forgive me.
The Official Google Webmaster Central Blog has all of their links nofollowed via a line in their header, "meta name=“ROBOTS” content=“NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW"
I was wondering if this is a mistake, an error, or actually by design?
I saved a screen shot on my original post that noticed it:

It looks like they forgot to select "Yes" for this blogger setting:
Add your Blog to our listings?
A Public blog appears in your Blogger Profile. If you select "No" we will not show your blog anywhere on Blogger.com, but it will still be available on the Internet.
Edit: Here are a couple of Blogger help articles about this:

I can't imagine they don't want the site to be public, probably just a temporary oversight. I'll ping someone over there and see if they fix it. |
We've been tweaking our HTML, and things got a bit wonky. Everything should be fixed now, with shiny new layout! |
