## Installation

 1. Download the latest zip file and extract the ‘nofollow-shortcode’ directory.
 2. Upload it to your ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
 3. Activate ‘Nofollow Shortcode’ on the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 4. Insert `[nofollow url="link-url.com"]Example link[/nofollow]` in your post or page(
    replacing your link’s information).

## FAQ

  How do I use the shortcode?

Simply type `[nofollow url="link-url.com"]Example link[/nofollow]` into your post.
Replace `link-url.com` and `Example link` with your link’s information.

You can also include other link optional attributes (if they are omitted, the title
attribute will not be inserted and the target will default to _blank). A full example
of the shortcode’s potential is `[nofollow url="link-url.com" title="Title of Link"
target="_top"]Link Text[/nofollow]`.

You can also use the shorter shortcodes of `[nofol]` and `[nofo]` in the same way
as `[nofollow]`.

As of version 1.1, you may use the `href=` attribute instead of `url=` as that was
causing a bit of confusion. However, both tags are still acceptable.
