   Hi, I'm trying to optimize my wordpress site and am having problems with the Title tag.

   A keyword I wish to use has an apostrophe eg "women's food"

   When I use that in the title and then check on the source code on the actual webpage, the title comes out like:

   ' women & # 8 2 1 7 ; s (no spaces) food '

   I have no idea where the ' & # 8 2 1 7 ; ' came from and how to get rid of it and replace it with " ' ". On the webpage it displays correctly with a " ' " but the source code doesn't.

   I have tried various title plugins with no luck.
   Any help much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

   & # 8 2 1 7 ; is just the HTML code for "'". It's supposed to be that way.

   I'm having problems writing a title tag that actually works.

   Wordpress help says that I can "add my metatags" below the line that reads like this:
   <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title />

   Actually the line looks like this:
   <title><?php wp_title('&laquo', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name');?></title>

   However this doesn't help me to set the title tag to say what I want it to say. The title tag should read "Green Copywriting" - I have put this in in every way I can imagine, starting with <TITLE>Green Copywriting</TITLE> and when that didn't work, entering the desired title instead of 'name' in the line above, entering it instead of '&laquo', etc. NOTHING worked.

   Please tell me what I am supposed to do to make this work.
