Meh. I think the main effect of removing the link was that, in order to get to the article, instead of spending about 0.2 seconds to click on the link, one has to spend nearly a second to select the title, right-click it, click “Search Google for ‘Faith ...’”, and click on the top result.
If that hadn't been true I would've been much more reluctant to delete the URL. I was trying to control Pagerank flow, not information discovery. Please feel free to mirror the text on your home site and direct readers there.
Did you know you can put a "nofollow" attribute on a link and control search ranking that way?
We don't have sufficient development resources to do very basic things with the LW codebase. This is one of them.
You can edit the post manually and put it in. In the post editor, click on the "HTML" toolbar icon to go into source code mode and then change the link so it looks like
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://...">link text</a>
Huh. I tested this and it appeared to work, which surprised me, because it'd been previously claimed that this HTML editor would filter all attributes not explicitly allowed (e.g. to filter Javascript misbehavior). Perhaps that one is explicitly allowed.
