canonical tagging
following on from [add canonical tag to head on posts?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-canonical-tag-to-head-on-posts/103235), we’d like the ability have canonical tagging to point to our own, non-wordpress, blog.

i wanted to log this one as a separate thread given [duplicate content](https://meta.discourse.org/t/duplicate-content/91745/3) doesn’t seem to be aligned either.
there is another related topic here: [add option to set canonical\_url to embed\_url](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-option-to-set-canonical-url-to-embed-url/103915). if what you are wanting is to have the canonical url of the discourse topic set to the url of the embedded blog post, it would be best to continue that discussion.

i think the biggest issue with implementing this is …
<p>a h1 tag is still the recommended way by w3 to headline a page:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.w3.org/qa/tips/use\_h1\_for\_title">http://www.w3.org/qa/tips/use\_h1\_for\_title</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.w3.org/qa/tips/headings">http://www.w3.org/qa/tips/headings</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.w3.org/tr/rec-html40/struct/global.html#h-7.5.5">http://www.w3.org/tr/rec-html40/struct/global.html#h-7.5.5</a></p>
<p>i still find that by following w3 recommendations it makes a good step in creating a well optimised page. obviously you aren't going to rank by having a h1 tag alone, but it will always never harm the page to have a well crafted one. one thing i do recommend is having a different h1 tag to the page title.</p> what is canonical tag in seo ? I'm currently writing a Markdown powered CMS, which adheres to [Commonmark](http://commonmark.org). Their [help page](http://commonmark.org/help/) is quick, easy and to-the-point.

Or [https://www.muse-themes.com/products/disqus-commenting](https://www.muse-themes.com/products/disqus-commenting "https://www.muse-themes.com/products/disqus-commenting") <p>hi alex - have you considered using a format such as this for your title tags -</p>
<p>word | brand name</p>
<p>however to actually answer your question it is fine to use hyphens i have several well ranked pages that use a hyphen in the title tag and this has not caused me any issues - out ranking sites that don't use the hyphen format. the thing i would think about though is having your brand regularly coming before anything else in the title tag that's why i suggested the format above - just a suggestion. you can still rank well for branded keywords with your brand being second in the title tag order.</p>

<p>as far as i know there is no straight answer. the assumption is that domain.com/blog will be better for your domain.com ranking. however, blog.domain.com works well for many big firms. any visitor to your blog is your visitor.</p>
<p>wix blogger and tumblr apps are integrated in the site, i.e. search engines sees them as part of the page. if you choose to use them , you may consider to mark the original blog as noindex to avoid duplicate content issues.&nbsp;</p>
<p>our advice to beginners who ask which option is better, blogger/tumblr app or external blog with subdomain, is to choose the one they think is better for the human user.</p> It might even be a good idea to have a page where people translating a certain article could talk about disagreements or whatever. At least for longer articles. You want something similar to this :



```
using (var context = new BloggingContext())
{
    var blogs = context.Blogs.SqlQuery("SELECT * FROM dbo.Blogs").ToList();
}

```

You can find tutorial for that here :
