how the site title and tag line will get used in the meta title and possibly in a meta description is dependent on your theme and whether you use a seo plugin.

Thanks. If I am not mistaken
<title><?php
/*
* Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed.
*/
global $page, $paged;
wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );
// Add the blog name.
//bloginfo( 'name' );
// Add the blog description for the home/front page.
$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
//if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
//echo " | $site_description";
// Add a page number if necessary:
if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
echo ' | ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'twentyeleven' ), max( $paged, $page ) );
$theme_options = twentyeleven_get_theme_options();
$social_facebook = $theme_options['social_facebook'];
$social_twitter = $theme_options['social_twitter'];
$social_linkedin = $theme_options['social_linkedin'];
$social_stumbledupon = $theme_options['social_stumbledupon'];
?></title>
Is this the line I need to remove?
$site_description = get_bloginfo( ‘description’, ‘display’ );
I assume this should remove it from the title but leave the tagline description underneath the blue link in google correct?
the posted code already looks as if somebody has commented the line which outputs the tagline with the meta title:
//echo " | $site_description";
it won’t harm, but it is also not necessary, to comment this line, like:
//$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
