      Hi,

      Im using thesis Wordpress theme, and their default option is  "Add canonical <acronym title="Uniform Resource Locator">URL</acronym>s to your site"

      im just wandering if i should keep that  box checked and apply canonical <acronym title="Uniform Resource Locator">URL</acronym>s to all of my pages?

      Thank You

        it depends. that Option can often help a little bit with scrapers if you are going to run a blog (scraping WILL happen if you have worthy content). otherwise, there is not a real need to that.

        see this thread for more info. this other link is mentioned in there for modifications to this theme's metadata and settings.
