   This must be an easy one but I cannot figure it out.

   Today my title looks like this:
   <title>XHTML | CSS | Web design | Photography | Jens Wedin - Strange DNS issue</title>

   First comes the name of the blog then the article name. I would now like to change the order to:

   <title>Strange DNS issue - XHTML | CSS | Web design | Photography | Jens Wedin</title>

   The problem seems to be the <?php wp_title(' - '); ?>. The line (-) always goes after and not in front of the title. If I just write:

   <?php wp_title(' - '); ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

   The line (-) comes before, and I want between the title and name. If I add a static line it show up on the start page and that is not what I want.

   Any suggestions?

   Did you try:

   <?php wp_title(); ?> - <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

   Thanks for the replies, I ´ll try the plugin.

   Lorell: That way, on the frontpage it would show:

   - XHTML | CSS | Web design | Photography | Jens Wedin

   Notice the line (-) in the front. I do not want that.

   Thanks again.

   <?php wp_title(' | '); ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

   If the article title was "Title of Article" and in the blog name in the Admin you had entered "| XHTML | CSS | Web design | Photography | Jens Wedin", the above template tags (not plugin) would show:

   | Title of Article | XHTML | CSS | Web design | Photography | Jens Wedin

   If you want to totally get rid of anything before the title name put a space:

   <?php wp_title('&nbsp'); ?>

   I am using this <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

   But on the blog main page, the Title is a blank.

   How can I alter the code so that it only shows Article Title on the blog pages and show the blog name on the main index?
