    Hi guys,

    This question might not be specifically related to headspace but it might be. Now that I am done with my wife’s website and she is up to speed with adding all her “fabulous” recipes (shameless plug for my babe http://www.recipetrezor.com

    I now created a site for me, I am using word press 2.8 for my wife’s and 2.9.2 for my site http://www.photoconcept.net, please don’t ask me to upgrade her (if it’ not broke-I am not going to fix it)

    My question is as follow:

    when I google recipetrezor.com by putting (site:www.recipetrezor.com) – google returns results showing the title of the posts only and discription below, which I like.

    When I google my site the same way site:www.photoconcept.net google always returns the words
    (Photo Concept>>) to the left, then the post title. I find this very distracting because most of the time the post title is descriptive of the contents of the post.

    What am I doing wrong I set up both sites the same

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You’ll have to go to Appearance/Editor in your admin panel and edit what you have between the <title></title> tags in the Header template.

    I now created a site for me, I am using word press 2.8 for my wife’s and 2.9.2 for my site, please don’t ask me to upgrade her (if it’ not broke-I am not going to fix it).

    I also subscribe to the idea of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it,” but 2.8 is broken as it is full of publicly known security vulnerabilities. You should at least upgrade her blog to 2.9.2.

    Jeez Mac, I did not want to hear that!!! I guess I have to upgrade it now. thank you so much for the tip.

    As far as the Header:

    in the file header.php I have the following
    my site says:
    <title>
    <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
    <?php wp_title(); ?>
    </title>

    her site says:

    <?php wp_title(”); ?><?php if(wp_title(”, false)) { echo ‘ :’; } ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>

    do I just replace them? And will the change take effect on the currently indexed posts or only the new ones

    thank you so much for your help.

    Since you want yours to function like it does on your wife’s blog, replace yours with hers. The changes will happen instantly on your blog, but changes to your search results will happen at Google’s pace (they won’t be instant).
