   I use Sociable 3.2.3 with WordPress 2.8.
   Is it possible to set the links of Sociable without rel="nofollow"?
   What to do?

   Thanks!

   it's possible and easy.
   But you have to add a few code (that will be overwritten when you update the plugin).

   There are (at least :) two ways:
   - hard coded (nofollow will be output, always)
   - prety cool upgrade (selectable option in the backend)

   [The Hard coded way]
   around line 588, you will find
   

   $link .= "<a rel=\"nofollow\"";

   replace it with:
   

   $link .= "<a";

   and you have it! maybe next time you'll try by yourself! :)

   [The pretty cool way]
   do the Hard Coded method, and continues:

   around line 592, after:
   

   if (get_option('sociable_usetargetblank')) {
   	$link .= " target=\"_blank\"";
   }

   write the following:
   

   if (get_option('sociable_usenofollow')) {
   	$link .= " rel=\"nofollow\"";
   }

   around line 782, after:
   

   } else {
   	update_option('sociable_usetargetblank',false);
   }

   add this:
   

   if (isset($_POST['usenofollow']) && $_POST['usenofollow']) {
   	update_option('sociable_usenofollow',true);
   } else {
   	update_option('sociable_usenofollow',false);
   }

   around line 834, after:
   $usetargetblank = get_option('sociable_usetargetblank');
   write:
   $usenofollow = get_option('sociable_usenofollow');

   and finally, around line 924, after:
   

   <input type="checkbox" name="usetargetblank" <?php echo (get_option('sociable_usetargetblank')) ? ' checked="checked"' : ''; ?> /> <?php _e("Use <code>target=_blank</code> on links? (Forces links to open a new window)", "sociable"); ?>
   		</td>
   	</tr>

   write:
   

   <tr>
   		<th scope="row" valign="top">
   			<?php _e("Use 'nofollo' rel tag:", "sociable"); ?>
   		</th>
   		<td>
   			<input type="checkbox" name="usenofollow" <?php echo (get_option('sociable_usenofollow')) ? ' checked="checked"' : ''; ?> /> <?php _e("Use <code>rel=nofollow</code> on links? (Forces search engines to 'not follow this link' because it's outside our site)", "sociable"); ?>
   		</td>
   	</tr>

   and you will have the 'followed' ;) option in your Backend.

   do backups, and let the force be with you :)

   Really perfect!
   I used your code and now I have the nofollow option in my backend.
   All function perfectly!
   Only 2 little statements for the other users who will read your code:
   1) My numbers of code's lines are different (I use WordPress 2.8 and Sociable 3.3);
   2) In your last grey window I corrected "Use 'nofollo' rel tag;" with "Use 'nofollow' rel tag;".

   Thanks again!

   All OK in Sociable 3.3.1 also.
   This code works good!
