 * Can I use my robot.txt file to stop crawling of the https versions of my pages
   and thus stopping Google from assuming I have duplicate content?
 * If I can use this method it means I don’t have to 301 redirect and change all
   my internal links.

 * Is SSL really needed on what is essentially my simple blog site, am I making

 * Solved, this was an issue with how my theme was coded. I contacted the developer
   and he informed me I could not set a static page like this.
 * And had to insert my blogs via shortcodes.

 * Issue is fixed, backed up my WP site via FTP. Deleted the old installation and
   started again.
 * It worked on the 3rd attempt.
