    I only see meta tag plug-ins for the description and and keyword meta tags.

    Do all templates insert the title tag of each post automactically?

    If not, is there a plug-in that includes this meta tag also?

    What plug-in do you recommend?

    By title tag, do you mean the post slug?

    Titles are not considered “meta” in an HTML doc.

    To add post titles, make sure this is used in your theme’s <title> element:

    Some clarification please

    Will this default code include the title of each post/page generated?

    <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    It should, yes. The

    if ( is_single() ) { }

    portion outputs “» Blog Archive” only on single post pages, while wp_title() displays the post’s title. Is that not working?

    Yes, it is but what are the merits of replacing the above code with

    <title>
    <?php wp_title(‘ ‘); ?>
    <?php if(wp_title(‘ ‘, false)) { echo ‘–‘; } ?>
    <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
    </title>

    This code appears to be quite different

    Thank you

    It’s different only in that whatever wp_title() displays comes before blog name; the if(wp_title(' ', false) tests on if it returns something, and when it does adds a separator (--) between the two.

    But merits? That’s not something I’d make a judgement on, since it all depends on how *you* want your titles.

    Thanks very much for the clarification and taking the time to answer.
