Static main page and the post's page duplicate content (4 posts)

    I have my WordPress site set up so that a certain page displays as the homepage. The problem is that the title of the page is hyperlinked to a separate page which displays the very same content with a longer url (example: http://www.myblog.com/page-title)

    This is essentially duplicate content and google doesn't like it.

    Anyone know how to make the main page static but not have it duplicated in a separate page?

    Um whoever wrote that page doesn't speak very good English.
    What do the mean when they say:
    "Title one as "Home" (or another name) as your "static" front page.
    Set the "Home" template to the default template or any custom template."

    I previously had the content that I wanted to show up on the main page published as a post.

    I followed the directions and made it a page and now my main page at my site shows no content!

    Help!

    I figured it out. You have to go to Settings>Reading and tell it which static page to display.
