title: Multiple, separate rel= tag attributes OK? (WordPress)
body: <p>Is having two separate rel="" attributes in an a tag OK?</p>
  
  <p>It seems WordPress by default adds a rel="nofollow" tag to all external links. In the code these are added to the very beginning of the a tag.</p>
  
  <p>In order to add rel="me" attributes to my social profiles on my About page (where my rel="author" links point to), I've added some <a href="http://yoast.com/wordpress-rel-author-rel-me/" rel="nofollow">tweaks as suggested by Yoast</a>.</p>
  
  <p>The resulting code looks as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a rel="nofollow" title="XYZ" href="http://link.com" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://link.com']);" rel="me nofollow"&gt;Google Profile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note the rel="nofollow" at the beginning, and then the rel="me nofollow" towards the end of the a tag. The attributes at the end are hand-coded, the initial one is the WordPress default.</p>
  
  <p>Is having two instances of rel="" acceptable? If so, should I get rid of the duplicate nofollow attribute in the second one?</p>
  
  <p>I'm not seeing my blog properly linked to my Google Profile, checked via Google's <a href="https://sgapi-recrawl.appspot.com/" rel="nofollow">SGAPI Recrawl Tool</a>, however the attributes seem to have been picked up by the Rich Snippets testing tool.</p>
