I just implemented rel="nofollow" into the latest comments plugin from
Ted Leung at
http://www.sauria.com/~twl/code/python/pyblosxom/comments.py. It wasn't
very hard, I used the regex in there and added the rel="nofollow" tag to
it. rel="nofollow" is the new technique for trying to reduce spam from
Google. You can read more about it on thier blog at
http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html

The plugin is attached.

If you make any changes to this plugin, please a send a patch with your
changes to [email protected] so that we can incorporate your changes.
Thanks!

This plugin requires the pyXML module.

This module supports the following config parameters (they are not
required):

    comment_dir - the directory we're going to store all our comments in.
                  this defaults to datadir + "comments".
    comment_ext - the file extension used to denote a comment file.
                  this defaults to "cmt".
    comment_draft_ext - the file extension used for new comments that have
                        not been manually approved by you.  this defaults
                        to comment_ext (i.e. there is no draft stage)

    comment_smtp_server - the smtp server to send comments notifications
                          through.
    comment_smtp_from - the person comment notifications will be from.
                        If you omit this, the from address will be the
                        e-mail address as input in the comment form
    comment_smtp_to - the person to send comment notifications to.
    comment_rejected_words - the list of words that will cause automatic
                             rejection of the comment--this is a very
                             poor man's spam reducer.


Comments are stored 1 per file in a parallel hierarchy to the datadir
hierarchy.  The filename of the comment is the filename of the blog
entry, plus the creation time of the comment as a float, plus the 
comment extension.  The contents of the comment file is an RSS 2.0
formatted item.

Each entry has to have the following properties in order to work with
comments:

 1. absolute_path - the category of the entry.  ex. "dev/pyblosxom"
 2. fn - the filename of the entry without the file extension and without
    the directory.  ex. "staticrendering"
 3. file_path - the absolute_path plus the fn.  ex. "dev/pyblosxom/staticrendering"

Also, for any entry that you don't want to have comments, just add
"nocomments" to the properties of the entry.
