    You might as well edit the template yourself, it would be far more effective than relying on plugins.

    nks is right, it's probably just a space in the template to make the template look nice. Raw code doesn't have to look nice so just open up header.php and take it out.

    You can hard-code the title OR better still use the SEO Title Tag that gives you full control

    By hard-coding I mean use plain HTML instead of php like this -

    <title>desired title</>

    SEO title plugin link: netconcepts.com/seo-title-tag-plugin

    enable the plugin and in header.php delete existing title tag and paste this code

    <title><?php if (function_exists('seo_title_tag')) { seo_title_tag(); } else { bloginfo('name'); wp_title();} ?></title>
    PHP:

    This is the Optimal Title plugin for wordpress. Putting the name of your post before the name of your blog. This is extremely important because search engines rank the first few words of your page title the most important. Also, make sure that your title tags are short and concise, especially on content pages.

    Edit: After taking a look at that All-In-One SEO Pack.. it looks pretty good! Check that one out.
