     Hi Chris,

     I think you can use Marco’s NoFollow plugin for Joomla! 1.5, 1.6, 1.7
     A link to a download page of the plugin + short description is here:
     http://www.mmleoni.net/nofollow-plugin-for-joomla.

     I haven’t personally used the plugin but I guess using it shouldn’t be a prob.
     If you test it just drop a comment here if all went smooth with it.

     Thx

     Best,
     Georgi
