  Hello, I’d like to add the rel=canonical tag to all my blogs to identify them as the original article in instances of duplicate content. How do I do this?

  Thanks,
  Baochi

  Hi Baochi,

  For security reasons, WordPress.com does not allow users to add rel=canonical tags.

  You can read a bit about accessing blog files at WordPress.com here:

  If you wish to have more control over your site, you may consider switching to a self-hosted site via WordPress.org. You will have more flexibility to add the coding you desire.

  Here’s the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
