 * esmi: “So, it is best to start your permalink structure with a numeric field,
   such as the year or post ID.”
 * I’ve tried this structure with the id.
    Ex/
 * [http://www.site.com/%post_id%/%post_name%](http://www.site.com/%post_id%/%post_name%)
 * after you save this, simply by posting “www.site.com/%post_id%” will take you
   to “www.site.com/%post_id%/%post_name%”
 * Would this be considered duplicate content if two urls are pointing at the same
   page?
