Hi,
How can I add a title for the homepage?
I am using the "tropical flowers" theme at latinophile.com
I had to remove the text title in users - weblog title to add my own banner but now I have no title tags.
I tried editing <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title> but it had no affect.
Please advise what to do.
Thanks
what are you trying to do?

if you remove the text form General Options - Weblog title there is nothing for WordPress to display as title on your site.
If you don't want to display a title in your header because you rely on a banner, you can apply a hidden style to your header title class .blogtitle in style.css

Please explain how to do this.
I tried commenting out .blogtitle but the text (in options-weblog title) still appeared on top of the banner.
Thank you
do not comment out .blogtitle but add a hidden style like:
.blogtitle {
display:none;
}this way the title will be invisible but still in the source of your page which is convenient for web search.

Thanks that worked.
A follow-up question - since this is hidden text will this affect my search engine presence as noted in Google's guidelines

may be, may be not..
I have used the same approach for the site of my son, http://tijmen.brinkkemper.com and we don't experience any problems with indexing.
