   Hi,

   I have correctly changed the post urls to this postname format.
   http://www.follettmotors.com/vwaudiblog/audi-a3-water-pump-with-plastic-impeller.htm

   However, Google displays the post in its results as:

   Follettmotors.com VW AUDI Blog
   Audi A3 1.8 T Water Pump with plastic impeller. Water pumps with plastic impellers may not be as reliable as those with metal impellers ...
   http://www.follettmotors.com/vwaudiblog/audi-a3-water-pump-with-plastic-impeller.htm - 42k -

   Question: How do I amend the post title so that it is the same as the postname url (ie, not 'Follettmotors.com VW AUDI Blog - which is the blog name)

   Ideally, I want results to be displayed in this format

   Audi A3 water pump with plastic impeller
   Audi A3 1.8 T Water Pump with plastic impeller. Water pumps with plastic impellers may not be as reliable as those with metal impellers ...
   http://www.follettmotors.com/vwaudiblog/audi-a3-water-pump-with-plastic-impeller.htm - 42k -

   thanks and regards.

   Just use <?php wp_title(); ?> in your title tag in the header. If you want to customize it more, have a look here:

   Thanks. I'm a little unsure. Is this for the header.php or the index.php?
   My header.php currently has:

   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
   <meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" /> <!-- leave this for stats -->

   Surely your theme's header.php has more than that?

   Regardless, look through your theme files and find the <title> ... </title> tags. What's currently there?

   currently title tags on header.php read
   <title>Follettmotors.com VW AUDI Blog </title>

   so I should replace with this (?)

   <title><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

   Sounds like you want something like this (from the link provided above)

   <title>
   <?php wp_title(' '); ?>
   <?php if(wp_title(' ', false)) { echo '--'; } ?>
   <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
   </title>
