Colin,

What you have done is perfectly fine. I choose not use the method because I tend to forget to add the more tag.

BTW, the plugin is recommended by one of the readers but I do not use here on my blog.

Does the usage of the tag accomplish the same goal as this plugin? I use this tag so that only the entry introduction appears on the homepage and category pages. The full entry is only available on one page – the posted entry itself.

Technology For Non Techies’s last blog post..What the Heck Is “YouTube” Anyways?

It’s an honor for me to be able to contribute. Thanks for the invite.

Drop me a line when The Voices Within starts whispering, will you?

And thanks for the compliment too. The credit should go to Speckyboy with his great minimalist design. I just tweaked it to my own preference.

Oh, ok!thanks!Got the central idea. But i don’t think i will use this no index. Why cheat Google?hmm..

The idea of group blogging has always fascinated me and somehow i managed to book the domain and make necessary arrangements.. Well, i would very much be honored if you would write for me but the thing is this is not a technology blog. I might launch one on technology and SEO depending on the success of this The Voices Within.

If you would like to write on something else or feel you have particluar forte , please feel free to mail me.

@rampantheart

When you copy the article word for word and publish it elsewhere, Google will recognize it as duplicate content will eventually affect your PR. Writing a different version of the article and still keeping the gist of the story is much recommended by the SEO guys.

Off my mind, if you find the urge to copy everything, then I would suggest using ‘noindex’ to prevent Google to index it. Frankly, I haven’t done this before so I can’t advise you further.

Oh I like the idea of group blogging…

I have been wanting to ask this question for a long time now. I am venturing into group blogging now and would like to know something..

Well, will it be taken as a duplicate content if an already published article in any of the people’s blogs are published in another blog?Will the pr be reduced?Awaiting your response.

If you want to know if I have a dollar, you’ll have to come by tomorrow to read my first ever Income Report :). Thanks for stopping by my site before. Keep up the good work and I’ll be back to see what’s new around here.

Hi Bill

You are right. Using plugin is always the best option to simplify the complexity of WordPress. The one you mention is definitely worth a look. I should update my post accordingly.

Thanks for the 2 cents. Do you have a dollar?
