Wanting to help a friend get a set of great plugins I had another look at the plugin resources…
In particular I wanted a good plugin to manage the infamous “nofollow” attribute but I’ve been disppointed with what I’ve found.
Links are what bind the World Wide Web together but when Google bought Blogger they invented a new bit of HTML to sabotage the ability of Blogger blogs to pass on PageRank.
To put it mildly this irks most bloggers!
And that is where the “DoFollow” plugin comes from
The best list I’ve found of plugins dealing with this is on Andy Beard’s blog.
And the plugin I have meant to install does not seem to work now in WordPress 2.71 – this is the famous plugin that rejoices under the name of Lucia’s Linky Love. She said a little while back that she’s working on it.
Expect to see “DoFollow” here very soon…I just need to dither a bit over Andy’s options

Having shared what I’m sure many will regard as my paranoid suspicion about Google in the previous post about Google Analytics you might think my credibility is in shreds when I tell you to install Arne Brachold’s site map generator
An XML site map is one that just about all search engines and certainly the major search engines can read.
And if you traffic i.e. people, from the search engines it it only makes sense have this search engine friendlu site map.
This is not a listing of pages displayed to help visitors find your content that some people expect. This site map is written not in English but in XML.
This is an essential plugin – after all it supports the core purpose of your blog – communication.
It is also easy to install and configure.
