Excerpts are safe, I'm sure, that sounds like a good strategy. Either way, think I will test this out and measure the results.

I use excerpts on the front page so the content isn't identical to the single post.

Quick question on the "sticky post" feature of Wordpress. While the whole issue of duplicate content is certainly overblown, Google has said that they don't want to see duplicate content between multiple pages on the same domain. That being the case, isn't this essentially what happens when utilizing this feature of Wordpress? i.e., let's say I create a post called "Welcome" and set it to be sticky so that it also appears on my home page. Wouldn't Google then find the exact same content at both http://mydomain.com/welcome as well as http://mydomain.com? Is it a "best practice" to set the "/welcome" post to noindex/nofollow? Appreciate your thoughts on this! Thanks, - Dave Hello Kim,

Thanks for this info. But one silly question: I want to make a post sticky, but for only 1 or two weeks. It's for a donation drive, and once the campaign ends, I want the post no longer sticky. Is it as simple as just unchecking the box afterward? .-= Sheila´s last blog ..<a href="http://ebooknook.ca/2010/07/24/09:12/will-ebooks-ever-replace-print-books/" rel="nofollow">Will eBooks ever replace print books</a> =-.

I just updated my WP to 3.0 and the sticky feature is still where you said it is. Thanks! Awesome – your post might be from more than a year ago, but it sure remains current.
