I've been trying to add rel=nofollow tags to some of the external links but I can't see a way to do this apart from adding it via the html editor in the content visual editor.
I didn't build the site so please forgive my ignorance.
When I highlight link and click on "html", (whether in Chrome or Firefox browser), an empty frame opens up but does not allow me to enter anything and the frame has no editing buttons etc.
Would the dev have disabled the html feature in the cms? If so, how can I enable it again?
Is this the best way to add rel=nofollow to external links? Or should I add something to the template to cover all outbound links? I have searched for quite a while but can't find an answer to this question.

If your html is stored in richtext-editor, it's not very convenient to modify it.
Try to use render of links or if you can't you have to change your links in richtext-editor.
Do you know what version of Umbraco your site is based upon?
In some Umbraco versions it's not allowed to insert custom HTML by default but this setting can be changed in some configuration files, which your developers can access and modify.
Currently adding rel="nofollow" in the HTML is actually the only way you can do it...but it would be nice if it was possible to choose wether the link should be a nofollow link or not so you would not have to add it by yourself in the HTML...editors should never have to play around with HTML.
Do you mind adding a feature request for this option at the issue tracker for Umbraco where features, bugs etc. can be reported?
Can't access html in visual editor
