   I've been playing around with a theme called "Article Directory", was previously using Thesis.
   Thesis displayed the tagline/blog description in the browser title bar, but switching to the new theme now it is just the blog name (Plugins or not), and I want the tagline back in the tile.

   It seems the tagline is not diplayed by default in a lot of themes.
   Is there an easy line of code or 2 I can place in the header.php or another file to get back this functionality?

   From the default theme

   // Add the blog name.
   	bloginfo( 'name' );
   
   	// Add the blog description for the home/front page.
   	$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
   	if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
   		echo " | $site_description";

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

   The title of your page
   

   <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

   <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> is the name of your blog and is set in Admin Panel / Settings /General.
   

   <title><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></title>

   <?php bloginfo('description'); ?> is set in Admin Panel / Settings /General with your description.

   :-)
