   Hi,

   I just finished designing a custom header for my blog http://www.livingwithballs.com

   The inove theme I'm using automatically puts the title in the header. Since I've designed a custom header, I no longer need that.

   My question is: Where do I go in the HTML editor to remove that code so the title no longer shows up in the header.

   Thanks in advance,
   John

   Hi John,

   You'll want to edit the templates\header.php file, and look for the following piece of code about 15 lines from the top:
   

   <div id="caption">
     <h1 id="title"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
     <div id="tagline"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
   </div>

   Simply remove the <div id="tagline"> line, so the code looks like this:

   <div id="caption">
     <h1 id="title"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
   </div>

   You'll still have the H1 for your SEO, but the caption will be gone. Hope this helps!

   A better option for SEO purposes would be to use the original markup:

   <div id="caption">
     <h1 id="title"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
     <div id="tagline"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
   </div>

   and replace #header h1 {display:none;} in style.css with:

   #header h1,#tagline {position:absolute;top:-500px;left:-5000px}

   which leave both the blog title & description available for the search engines but removes them from graphical browsers.
