Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Barry,

I sorta thought that would be the case, but wasn't a 100% sure

Thanks!

I've got one in place

Example:

http://www.tvsphoto.com/ga

I fairly sure its set up correctly 

Thank again Barry,  Very Helpful!

Hi Barry, thanks for you response.

Sorry, the "/blog" was left off the inital post.

The canonical urls for each as are such,

Home page Blog page

Is it "OK" that the home page and blog use different prefix's?

What is the best way to manage 404 errors for pages that are no longer on the server.

For example, client deletes old site from server and replaces it with new site. Webmaster tools is reporting 100 +  404 errors form the old site.  I've blocked the 404 pages with robot.text. Requested removal in google webmaster tools. And created a custom 404 page - http://www.tvsphoto.com/missingurlexample

Is there anything else I can do?

I started managing a fairly small site that consists of a home page, flash portfolio, and a wordpress blog.

The home page ( main index ) is canonicalized as:  The wordpress blog is canonicalized as

Does canonicalization need to be consistent across the site?

Could the difference in canonicalization cause any ranking problems, and or indexing problems for the blog / entire site?

Any thoughts are appreciated!
