Stable tag: 2.02
Mask all external links - make them internal or hide. On your own posts, comments pages, authors page - **no more PR\CY dropping!**

== Description ==

Mask all external links to internal! In your own posts, comments pages, authors page... It does not change anything or write to base - just processes output.

Now you don't need to worry about your page rank or index, dropping because of spam bots. You write any kind of http link - and it becomes internal or hidden! You can configure plugin to work with your own posts, pages comments and authors's profiles. Of cause, the link will still be usable :).

####NEW!!!!!
+ Now you can also disable link rewriting, and use **"rel=nofollow"** and **<noindex>** tag instead of it - everything as you wish!   
+ In version 2.0 you can **make all links open in new window!**   
+ After many requests, I finally made an option to **disable masking** for concrete URLs and posts.  
+ Plugin works now without any magic with .htacess - you just install it and it works, and determines itself, if you need to rewrite permalinks, or use default link structure.  
Have fun!

####Example

In short, your links like "http://gmail.com" will be masked into  
"http://YourBlog.com/goto/http://gmail.com" - or  
"http://YourBlog.com?goto=http://gmail.com"

Now you can even tansform simple link "<a href="http://google.com">google</a>" to   
"<noindex><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://google.com">google</a></noindex>"
