 * Hi all. Well, I have scoured the forum for answers, and unfortunatly I’m not 
   AT ALL savvy at coding so I’ll need help in baby terms. I know HTML but this 
   is a whole new world for me.
 * I have two problems and if you check my site, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking
   about [http://dianereiter.com](http://dianereiter.com)
 * If you check my blog, you’ll ses the title appear in blue beneath my banner momentarly
   until the page loads completely. You’ll actually also see a white one, too but
   I can deal with that. I have NO idea how to get rid of this..where to go, what
   to do.
 * The other problem is on my About page (the tab for this page is top left). The
   page title is showing up twice “About About.” NO idea how to get rid of this 
   one, either.
 * Can anyone give me a hand?
 * Thanks a million!

 * Try removing your site title from settings/general.
 * Is your about page a post? odd that none of your other posts have the double 
   title. If it is a post, the only difference is the about me post is linked to
   the main menu.. maybe somethng to do with that?

 * I don’t want to remove that from the setting/general section because that will
   cause problems with search engines. I need the title/description to remain. I
   know there is a way of adding some coding to the end of the page php file that
   it supposed to remove it but it hasn’t work.
 * The “About” page is not a post, it’s a page title. If I remove “about me” it 
   removes all text from my navigation tab for that page. In other words, a tab 
   is still there but it’s blank.

 * You have an <h1> hidden by the image, this is absoultely dangerous for SEO porpouse.
   You need to delete the `<h1></h1>` form your header.php

    /”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>

 * Okay…I did what YouON suggested for the SEO, now does anyone have any suggestions
   for the site title and About Me page title issues?

 * What have you tried? did you use css to try and hide the title? it won’t effect
   SEO. What about changing it’s font color so it blends in with the page background?

 * I added
    #header h1 { display:none } to the style.css but it didn’t work so I’m
   assuming I didn’t do it right.
 * And yes…changing the title to white would be awesome…except I have no idea where
   or how to change it. I’ve poured through the code and attempted to do so, but
   I haven’t been able to figure it out.
 * As I mentioned, I’m familiar with html but this is completely foreign to me.

 * Maybe try to adjust here, maybe change it all to white?

       #header h1 {
       	margin: 0px;
       	padding: 0px;
       	float: left;
       	width: 100%;
       	font-size: 28px;
       	color: #000000;
       	line-height: 30px;

       	margin: 0px;
       	padding: 0px;
       	float: left;
       	width: 100%;
       	color: #666666;
       }
       #header a {
       	color: #6E2828;

 * Concerning the double title, do you get the same problem if you create another
   page with a title? Are you using a custom page template by chance? And what does
   your page template code look like? Care to post it?

 * Be sure to remove (don’t use) all the code that does not refer to text color,
   sorry i should have done that first.

 * Also,
 * `#header h1 { display:none }`
 * should be written like

 * deepbevel, I lied. I fixed that last code that you gave me but I cannot even 
   locate the other code you suggested to change to all white. Where in the world
   will I find that? I thought it’d be in the stylesheet page. I had another blog
   at one point and I used a WordPress theme. I was able to figure out any of the
   tweaking that needed to be done myself. This one is much harder for me for some
   reason. Maybe I’m just that much older…
 * As for the double page title, yes…this is a custom template and it does indeed
   occur with any new page I create. It wasn’t initially a problem but seemed to
   crop up at some point, and I cannot even tell you what may have happened to prompt
   this.
 * Here’s the page template:
 * <?php get_header(); ?>
    <?php $lcmp_page_head = <<<TXT <div class=”contentLayout”
   > <div class=”sidebar1″> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sidebar1.php’); ?> </
   div> <div class=”content”>
 * TXT;
    $lcmp_is_left = strpos($lcmp_page_head,”sidebar”); if($lcmp_is_left===FALSE){
   $lcmp_rightdefault = ‘default’; $lcmp_leftdefault = ‘notdefault’; }else{ $lcmp_leftdefault
   = ‘default’; $lcmp_rightdefault = ‘notdefault’; } ?> <div class=”contentLayout”
   > <?php global $lcmp_sidebarloc; if($lcmp_sidebarloc == $lcmp_leftdefault || 
   $lcmp_sidebarloc == ‘left’){ ?> <div class=”sidebar1″> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH.‘/
   sidebar1.php’); ?> </div> <?php } ?> <div class=”content”> <?php if (have_posts()):
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class=”Post”> <div class=”Post-body”
