Summary: Comment links - nofollow attribute

Initial Comment:
Many blogs are taking up the new rel="nofollow" tag in comment links to 
prevent comment spam - and Google, MSN and Yahoo have taken this up.

This is a template issue, that users who want this can
easily edit the "comments.tpl" file to insert "rel='nofollow'".

The Serendipity team does not believe that centrally
censoring user-supplied links with this prevents any use,
but only blames the people that are using blogs as intended.
In fact we do want to give pagerank to people who comment on
our blog. Spammers would post nevertheless. This is the
reason why Serendipity does not provide this by default, but
any user who wants to do that can add rel=nofollow directly
into his template file.

Best regards,
Garvin
