Is there an easy way to create nofollow links when using the link properties function? I don't want to use a general nofollow meta tag and the only way I can see is to go back into the html code after publishing and adding the rel="nofollow" to the code.

Am I missing something?

Link Properties dialog box does not allow you to create no follow links at this time, but that's a good idea! You should suggest it here:

For the time being, I suggest you create your nofollow links by adding them to your site manually using the external HTML tool, if you don't do this (and do your suggestion instead), VSD will over-write the edited HTML the next time you publish, and you'll have to go into your server and make this change every single time you update your site!
