    Hey all!

    Quick question; one that is probably easy for you techies!

    Right now, the title of my blog stays the same. No matter what page I visit on my WordPress blog, the title is the same.

    How do I leave the blog title, but add the post title before it?

    Hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction.

    Thanks in advance!

    I use the Optimal Title as mentioned above in all my blogs. It works well.

    I have ran into a roadblock with the Optimal Title plugin. I think this is my best bet, but I am stumped. Here is what I have done. Any help would be great!

    1. Downloaded the plugin
    2. Activated it from my WP admin area
    3. In my header.php from my WP admin area, I swapped out

    <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog
    Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    and added

    <title><?php optimal_title(); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

    Unfortunately, I am still getting the same page title. Is there something I could be doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance!

    hmm....

    That's pretty much the same as I use except I have a seperator of a | in mine. Here's what I use:

    <title><?php optimal_title(' | '); ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

    Hope that helps

    I can't help you with installing that plugin, but I can tell you that the plugin I suggested does not require any editing of files.
