faster pussycat... type! type!

Sure. I respected your ideas for evil projects, and I thought you had good follow-through.

From Movable Type.

Movable Type 'nofollow' plugin
01.18.2005

Today we are pleased to announce our full support for the rel="nofollow" attribute to hyperlinks introduced to address the main cause of weblog spam: the payoff of higher placement in search engine results.

This initiative, with announced support from Google, Yahoo, MSN (and surely more to come), will direct search engines to ignore links with this attribute set for the purposes of spidering or increasing search engine relevance or ranking.

I just installed this plug-in. And it makes me feel all giddy inside, like I'm ruining the fun of comment spammers. Which is an idea that I love. It's a delicious feeling. My advice to you, if you use MT, go out and get the plug-in, so you, too, can ruin the fun of the spammers. It's us vs. them, troops.
