I'm also pretty big into tinkering, in fact in most cases I know just enough to really screw things up ;-) . That said I push worpress pretty hard in a lot of different ways, and I've never had a problem with duplicate content on one domain, even when I was trying to screw something up.

There really isn't much of a duplicate content penalty - so I wouldn't swet it that much. The only real dangers are: 1) Splitting up your inbound links. This won't be much of a problem on wordpress as most people will either link to your homepage or a specific blog post. However Every post should be no more than 2 clicks from the homepage with the post you want to rank being 1 click from the homepage. 2) XML in some cases outranking more user friendly pages. However, if you really want to tackle the problem you can do it with the robots.txt and google sitemap. With robots.txt, you can specifiy which pages you do not want indexed. If you want to have more control, in your google sitemap you can set priority from .1 to 1. Give the highest priority to the pages you think should have the highest priority. >Any tips for avoiding duplicate content with CMS’s like phpbb or wordpress?
