 Login and registration pages are linked to from the meta widget, which
 often times causes them to be linked to from every page within a blog.
 These pages thus get indexed in the search engines, making it ''very''
 easy for hackers to find those pages.

 To prevent this, I propose we add a meta robots tag with the value
 noindex, follow to the login, lost password and registration pages.
