Duplicate content on most blogs

I'm not really sure how to go about it. I've recently added another feature to my news system, that will add duplicate content to the site, but will also provide better linkings to individual articles.

The main page (first link) would link to the article page (second link), so the content is copied twice. Also google can see the feed, making a third duplication of content.

http://fourshapes.com/articles/the-compact-box-model-hack-for-css-developers/
http://fourshapes.com/feed/

I'm not really sure what to do

 

No idea? anyone?

 

I am not clear on what your question is.

 

Your feed is not considered duplicate content.

As far as the other two URLs go, if I understand correctly, do you have a blog and then an article archive

 

If it's any consolation technorati.com is displaying millions of blog feed throughout their pages and they seem to be doing quite well.

 

Don't worry about it. As long as you are not creating 2 identical pages you are fine.

 

Thanks fellers. It was a little unclear. Basically my site structure is like this:

http://fourshapes.com/, it has artciles on the front page, but the articles will also link to the full article view page, here: http://fourshapes.com/articles/the-compact-box-model-hack-for-css-developers/

What I've decided to do, is create a preview on the first page, then link to the full article from there, minimising duplicate content penalties.

 

That seems like a smart choice to me.
