Anyone who frequents the world of weblogs will be aware of Google’s recent modifications to their crawler which make it ignore links containing a rel="nofollow" attribute. Yay! At last, a big FUCK YOU to the comment/referrer spammers from the big players. Woo-hoo!

I’ve just implemented it here. Still no HTML allowed in comments, although I might review this policy when the imapct of this move has had time to be felt (some people argue that it won’t have much effect). So the only real changes here will be that the initial links back to commenter’s pages now contain the attribute. Leave a comment with your URL and view source to check it out, should you care.
