Simple, if you use this plugin, `rel="nofollow"` will be inserted automatically 
for all the external links on your wordpress posts or pages.

#### Feature

 * Adds `rel="nofollow"` to all external links in your wordpress posts/pages
 * Will not add `rel="nofollow"` to any of the internal links of your wordpress 
   posts/pages.
 * Will not add another `rel="nofollow"` to links that already have `rel=nofollow`
 * Will remove existing `dofollow` from `rel=""` if it exists within the link
