I tried to bookmark your site in Google Chrome and your site title, “www.tinyfaces.com” appeared.
Is this what you mean by “bookmark”, or are you bookmarking with a service such as Delicious?
Is this what you mean by “bookmark”
Yes. When I bookmark in Firefox, I get the same thing: the URL. Some people are telling me (not sure what browsers – I suspect mobile or maybe more likely, IE) that the name field is totally blank rather than having the URL. In any case, I don’t want it that way. I want the site name “Tiny Faces” to be what shows up in your bookmark list, not the URL. When I add the “site title” in the general settings of WP, the site name will then show up properly when you bookmark. Of course, I get the big ol’ humongous title over my header then too, which I don’t want.

As you’ve stated, you can add the Site Title in the general settings of WP to solve this.
To solve the preceding text problem on your banner, you can use CSS to hide the text, however if your theme is not custom, you’ll need to use either a Child Theme or Custom Styles/CSS plugin.
Thanks. As mentioned, I am already using a child theme for modifications so that’s not a problem.
Also, like I said, I’m a rank beginner with CSS, so can someone please tell me exactly what I’d need to do? I’ll put the site title in the settings, but then what exactly do I add to the CSS in the child theme to “hide” it from showing on the live pages? Does it matter where? (My child theme has ONLY the mods.)
Thanks!
Never mind. Found the answer and it works now.
For anyone else out there struggling with the same thing, I added the site title and descrip to the general settings and then added the following code to the child theme stylesheet (style.css) :
#site-title, #site-description { display: none; }
