    Hi,
    I’m quite new to wordpress and have spent the past couple days trying to create a website. So my problem comes from searching in google. When I search for the website, it comes up on google, however instead of the name of my website the link reads:
    “My Blog: Just another wordpress site.”

    I’ve tried going into the settings on dashboard to change this but it hasn’t affected the actual link.

    Any thoughts or suggestions on how I can change the link so it says my website name?

    Thanks!

    Can you provide a link to your site please?

    Also, how long ago did you launch your site?

    You might want to install the WordPress SEO plugin and submit a google XML sitemap (it’s all built-into that one plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/)

    sorry for the rudimentary appearance, its still under construction.

    I’ve had it for only three days.

    perhaps to be a little more descriptive – when I search for my website on google this is the result:

    My Blog | Just another WordPress site
    http://www.micahchiang.com/ – Cached
    My Blog · About Me · Home · Uncategorized.

    I wish to change the top line of that to something else. Does anyone know how to do that?

    thanks for the help!

    If you’ve had your site only for a few days, you’ll need to wait, possibly a few weeks. There are million of pages out there that google needs to crawl through. I would give it time and add content, optimize your seo title tag and insert meta description.

    By the way, when I google ‘Micah Chiang Photography’ I get your tumblr blog and don’t see My blog, just another wordPress site.
