 * Hi everyone. I recently changed my blog so that the page titles would be the 
   post title (<title><?php wp_title(); ?></title>).
 * The problem is now my home page has no title. Any ideas as to how to fix this?
 * FYI my blog is at [http://hometownquotes.com/blog/](http://hometownquotes.com/blog/)
   if it helps.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Is there any particular reason, you didn’t want your blog name in the page title,
   on individual entries? I find it’s good for SEO purposes, otherwise:
 * <?php if(is_home()) : ?>
    <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title> <?php else : ?> 
   <title><?php wp_title(); ?></title> <?php endif; ?>

 * ohdear,
 * Indeed I DO want a page title on my home page, but using the code that I am using
   to name the other page titles it wont give the home page a title.
 * Can you elaborate on what I can do with the code you listed above?
 * Thanks!

 * I’m not sure if I understand correctly, the default is
    <title><?php bloginfo(‘
   name’); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>
 * which on the home page the page title is “Your Blog Name”, and individual entries
   is “Your Blog Name » Your Post Title” And I was wondering why you didn’t want
   the blog title in the page title of your individual entries?
 * With <title><?php wp_title(); ?></title> You don’t have page titles for archives
   either – [http://www.hometownquotes.com/blog/index.php?m=200502](http://www.hometownquotes.com/blog/index.php?m=200502)
 * Now with the code, on the home page the page title is “Your Blog Name” while 
   the individual entries have “» Your Post Title” as their page title.
 * Since you’re using WordPress 1.2.2, it actually should something like:
 * <?php if (!$single) : ?>
    <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title> <?php else:?
   > <title><?php wp_title(); ?></title> <?php endif; ?>
 * Hope that helps you 🙂

 * I have my index page title incorporated in the image I am using at my site [http://www.cliffslater.com](http://www.cliffslater.com).
   I would like to eliminate the “Second thoughts” that is called automatically 
   because at the moment it is in the title twice.
