   I'm guessing your theme has something like this in header.php or single.php

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

   Swap them round:
   <title><?php wp_title(); ?> | <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> </title>

   Better still, get Headspace 2 from Urban Giraffe which allows you to type in the <title> </title> that you want as you write the post. Search Engines and humans want different titles - humans want eye-catching tabloid stuff, search engines want literal stuff

   You should find the following code in your header.php file inside your themes folder.

   <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title();?></title>

   Simply swap the php functions around so it reads

   <title><?php wp_title(); ?><?php bloginfo('name')?></title>

   This should swap them around.

   Ok tried what you guys said but on my main page http://articles.hpkmedia.com/ it doesn't include the tagline... only the blog title..

   Also for the posts for example like this one http://articles.hpkmedia.com/writing/attract-more-readers-than-most-best-selling-authors.html

   it puts a >> at the beginning how do I get rid of the ">>"

   Thanks for the help!

   It would be pretty helpful for you to show what you have in header.php between the <title> tags.

   <?php wp_title(''); ?> will remove the double arrows

   As a multiple post page, there's no post title. If you mean description by 'tag line' then use <?php bloginfo('description'); ?>

   Really, for the index.php template you should hardcode your <title></title> in as so many people link to the home page and you want it to rank in the SEs e.g. <title>Internet marketing with pizzaz! HPKMedia blah blah blah </title>
