Page title and google

    I would like to know how to edit my page title so that it can be recognised by the browser and google as something sensible.

    At the moment I have a static home page which I call “Home” for reasons that 1. it is my home page and 2. it shows on my menu as “Home”.

    What I don’t like is the fact that on the tab on my browser or on th ebrowser window it also says “Home”, when I would prefer it to say “My Website Name”.

    Also, because of this, when my website is searched by google the title of my website, when discovered in a search, is called “Home”, which of course I would prefer it to say “My Website Name”.

    Can anyone please help.

    Try using something like:

    <title><?php wp_title('&laquo;', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

    in your theme’s header.php file.

    Hi esmi – I haven’t tried your solution, although I think I will, just so I can see how the code works.
    I used Platinum SEO Plugin which was recommended to me and that did the job VERY easily.
    Thank you again
