dont really need a plugin, try adding this to your functions.php file in your theme

add_filter('the_content', 'my_nofollow');

function my_nofollow($content) {
    return preg_replace_callback('/<a[^>]+/', 'my_nofollow_callback', $content);
}

function my_nofollow_callback($matches) {
    $link = $matches[0];
    $site_link = get_bloginfo('url');

    if (strpos($link, 'rel') === false) {
        $link = preg_replace("%(href=\S(?!$site_link))%i", 'rel="nofollow" $1', $link);
    } elseif (preg_match("%href=\S(?!$site_link)%i", $link)) {
        $link = preg_replace('/rel=\S(?!nofollow)\S*/i', 'rel="nofollow"', $link);
    }
    return $link;
}

Modifying functions.php is not a good idea because the theme can be changed or updated. Plugin is always a better solution. Its easier to enable/disable/update/modify/remove etc.

These are the droids you are looking for:

It will show up under tools... It'll list all of your links... just check box the once you want a nofollow on... done...

not really, if its your own theme i would rather have it in my functions.php file than having plugins to do so.

i could understand if its a theme from the codex which will autoupdate or something like that, but if its something custom to me, i do it this way.
