I am wondering if it's possible, either by plugin or by some trick such as Javascript, to mark all external links either by a different CSS styling or some other convention. My website is http://www.bananasontoast.org/ and it would be cool if any link that wasn't *.bananasontoast.org* was marked in some way. If anyone knows how I can achieve this it would be much appreciated.

This plugin might do it for you. It identifies external links and adds a class to them, which you can style in your stylesheet. Using before and/or after rules ( CSS3 ) you may even insert a small icon to hint that this is an external link.

I use the Links Indication plug-in and it works perfectly. It offers more options than just external links, like enabling you to identify a link to anywhere with a custom style, for example a link to wikipedia could use a special icon etc. It's all done through the options panel, so it's very easy and straight forward.
Good luck,
