I realize this isn't about etiquette per se, but some venues don't like to repost content that has already been posted elsewhere online because, as part of its anti-search engine spam initiatives, Google may downgrade a website's PageRank for having "duplicate content."

I would tend to doubt that there is a blogosphere-wide standard of etiquette here (or on most matters, for that matter). I suspect that most people indicate that the post appears in multiple places, at least on the less-viewed blog. In some cases, they might also turn off comments in one place to try to concentrate conversation. In others, they might simply summarize what they have written something elsewhere.
I've generally used my personal blog to toss everything into, and often posts that show up on my course blogs, project blogs, etc., go there too. I haven't been consistent in how, or if, I've noted this, but have done summaries and full posts, with and without cross-links.

Hi all,
I have been wondering about what the social online norms are for reusing or reposting blog posts across different blogs. <--snip--->
