      I'm using Wordpress with the Thesis theme (which is great by the way). It puts in a rel canonical for each page. Is this correct? I had always thought that the rel canonical just went on the home page telling SE's the preferred home page address. This appears to be telling SE's the preferred web address for each page.

        There can be other duplications of pages so it is advised to have the canonical tag on each page.

        It's also good for other reasons as well so yea click the option for the canonical tag.
