This is actually just a notice to let you know there is a rel=canonical tag, it shouldn't be in the error section. Make sure that it all appears OK and you should be fine.

Thank you for your speedy response Keri.

"it shouldn't be in the error section"  - what should be there?

Is this a glitch in the reporting tool?

Hi Mike,

The rel=canonical information is in the notices section. It's just a notice to say "hey, it's here, check and make sure you have it set up right". I took a look at your account and at first glance it does look OK (you don't have everything set to the home page and you're taking care of sort parameters).

It's not a warning or error, just a notice, and all appears to be OK.
