Proper Code for Dated Archive Title

Hi there – I have some monthly archives, like this:

http://www.triplepundit.com/2011/02/

I am using the following code for the page title: <h1><?php wp_title(); ?></h1>

it comes out like this: » 2011 » February

Where are those Raquo’s coming from and how can I control what comes up? Like, what if I just wanted it to say “February, 2011”

Second question – I’d love to be able to navigate to the preceeding and proceeding month. Like this : “<< January March >>”

There must be some easy code for that. Where can i find it?

Thanks!
