Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This canonical thing is brand new to me and I'm trying to wrap my mind around it.

Here is my situation:  I use Wordpress.  I am showing duplicate content with the following url's

http://crosstrainingandfitness.com/online-workout-blog/

http://crosstrainingandfitness.com/online-workout-blog/page/2/

Would setting a canonical link solve this? If so, what do I put in the Canonical box for this category (online workout blog).  I use Yoast's Wordpress SEO plugin.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Top plug in for SEO on Word Press is WordPress SEO by Yeost --> http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/#utm_source=wpadmin&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=wpseoplugin

Each page and/or post allows for follow or now follow as well as main settings in the Dashboard.  A lot of information on how to configure WP SEO Bdepending on your server set up.

Awesome info Riplash...thanks for the .htacess code. I'll put it in.

I think the other filled in all the details. But simply put:

XML sitemap? Yes, it will generate an error/warning in the Dashboard console.

HTML sitemap? No, as long as it is listed for better navigation and not keyword loading.

I just started here and really like everything the community and tools so far.  One question. My SEOMOZ dashboard  shows only one inbound link while Google Web Tools shows 300+.  My site has been up for 3 months now and I'm curious about the lack of indexing. Any help, tips or feedback is greatly appreciated.
