I added rel="nofollow" support to the Blosxom writeback plugin. I use Doug Alcorn's version that supports a blacklist and emails me when a new comment/trackback is posted.
Only one small change was required. I simply modified the writeback plugin to
prepend all href
attributes with rel="nofollow"
.
