wordpress duplicate content

[dfa]

i heard that wordpress has a category structure, a tag structure and a date based archive.

To avoid duplicate content i heard i should get rid of two of the three.

My question is how do i get rid of the tag structure and the date based archive?
ive been having a hard time trying to figure this out.

thanks in advance on anyone who can give me some tips.

Why not just robots.txt it, Id try something like this. (found it somewhere here befor) just edit in/out the parts you want spidered.

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /*/feed/$
Disallow: /*/feed/rss/$
Disallow: /*/trackback/$
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-
Disallow: /feed/
Disallow: /trackback/
Disallow: /rss/
Disallow: /comments/feed/
Disallow: /page/
Disallow: /date/
Disallow: /comments/
