How about the situation where you have a site that's built on a CMS, and you want to put a blog at one of the 'directories' of the site. Say you want a Wordpress blog there. You want it to look like: mysite.com/blog But because of the limitations of the CMS you have to install the blog elsewhere, say at blog.mysite.com. Now how do you handle URL rewriting in this case, so that the blog appears to be at mysite.com when it's really on a subdomain. And how do you prevent the subdomain (blog.mysite.com) from being indexed? Thanks. Very helpful post, but I have a question that remains unanswered.

You may wish to see my post as well on duplicate content penalties for Blogger. I found that using 'recent comments' widget in Blogger causes duplication of content. Also, the monthly archives in Blogger is not disallowed in search index using robots.txt directive. Good to see you self-hosted people taking advantage of robots.txt. Blogger doesn't provide that option. Lenin Hi Barry, this is indeed a real resource for all bloggers. You may wish to see my post as well on duplicate content penalties for Blogger.
