I am running wordpress blogs hosted inside my sites' own server, and has a url of www.mysite.com/blog. I am continuously updating the blog with fresh keyword oriented contents. I am using the wordpress theme for the blog and i login and post to the blog through wordpress login itself. now my questions are 1) Is that OK to use the wordpress theme and control panel or should i create a separate page for blog ? 2) If i bookmark and make some social shares for the blog posts will it help my homepages ranking ? 3) If i submit the same blog posts to some article sites, forums, guest blogs etc will my blog content get duplicated? Thanks in advance and sorry if i am being silly !!!
