 I normally add just one category for each post. If I take this post as an
 example - http://www.flightsimx.co.uk/announcements/vulcan-test-flight/ -
 you can see it is in the "announcements" category. However, I noticed from
 my stats that someone was viewing
 http://www.flightsimx.co.uk/uncategorized/vulcan-test-flight/ - I took a
 look and it did indeed show the correct post, but with a category I hadn't
 defined for it. If I search my Uncategorized archive, the post is not
 shown (which is what I would expect).

 On further investigation, I notice you can put anything in the category
 part of the URL - http://www.flightsimx.co.uk/abc123456xyz/vulcan-test-
 flight/ works, too, with an apparent category of "abc123456xyz"

 Is this not going to give the impression of lots of duplicate content to
 the search engines?
