Hey Harro,

Well, you could install multiple copies of anything and everything - but that will only mean that when you update, you will need to update all copies… and yes, duplicate content is a big no no when Google is concerned!

Also having multiple domains pointing to the same content is going to be something that google doesn't appreciate right? :) Hi KA, I think that hosting and diskspace is so cheap now that creating multiple installations is not an issue vs. people trying to figure out rewrite rules.

The "third paragraph" will probably work fine if Wordpress were installed in the root directory. However, I was having problem with the re-direction for Wordpress installed in the sub-folder. http: //shihengcheong.com/blog (without trailing slash) was redirect to http: //www.shihengcheong.com/blog/ I've solved this problem and the solution is post here: <a href='http://shihengcheong.com/blog/2007/02/fixing-canonical-urls-with-wordpress-url-rewrite/' rel="nofollow">Fixing Canonical URLs Problem with Wordpress URL Rewrite</a> You see, the right convention in Unix/Linux directory structure is to use a trailing slash for a folder. When there is no trailing slash, that should be a file. When you selected the use of SEO friendly URL in Wordpress, the mod-rewrite changed the server default. Hi Kian Ann,

I’ve solved this problem and the solution is post here:

You see, the right convention in Unix/Linux directory structure is to use a trailing slash for a folder. When there is no trailing slash, that should be a file.

When you selected the use of SEO friendly URL in Wordpress, the mod-rewrite changed the server default.
