This is likely to get lost.
Sucky aspect of not being able to Edit posts,
and people keep ignoring hte blatantly clear message to NOT post...


=============   Example :  Canonical Linke Element   =============

It is (now) (okay - has been for a while) to use the Canonical Link Element across different Domains.

That means you can use the CLE to point from 1 site to another.

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.someotherdomainname.com"/>


Note: Put your domain in that - not the one I used.
Note: You only use the /> if you are using XHTML - if you are using HTML, then it is simple > (no / in it!)
