NoFollow plugin for blojsom
Simple and easy to install! It will add rel="nofollow" to hyperlinks in comments and trackbacks. If a hyperlink already contains a value for the rel attribute, it will preserve that and add nofollow to the value. The other areas you might want to look at in your blojsom templates would be where you're printing out comments and trackbacks, similar to <a href="$entryComment.getAuthorURL()">. You might want to change that to <a href="$entryComment.getAuthorURL()" rel="nofollow">. I'll be updating the templates to add the rel="nofollow" attribute to those areas. This plugin and the template changes will be included in the next version of blojsom. Looks like Simon has a nofollow plugin for Pebble. Good deal!The nofollow plugin adds support for searching through hyperlinks in comments and trackbacks and adding rel="nofollow" for hyperlinks without this attribute. This removes any search engine ranking that comment spammers might hope to get from leaving comment spam on your blog.
