Guys, I have Platinum SEO plugin and all in one etc... But my challenge is to add a title and proper description to the site. It seems I added it, nevertheless when I submit RSS everywhere is says "Tittle unknown" or something like that. What's the issue and how to fix it?
"double check to make sure the Plat. plugin is showing up in your headers." how? reminder: my concern is: why my title is not picked up by resources, why it doesn't find it. Where to check it and edit it?
Each post and page that you create in WordPress has a permanent home called a ‘permalink’. This is simply a permanent (sort-of) URL that you can use to link directly to that post. When you first install and set-up WordPress, it creates URLs based on the ID number that it uses in the databse to keep track of everything. If you look at the URL, it will look something like this: ‘http://mysite.com/?p=1′. The problem (besides being ugly – hence the name ‘ugly URL’ or ‘ugly permalink’) is that search engines use the URL as one of the most important factors for deciding what a page is about. Wouldn’t it be much better if you wrote a post about an event you just photographed and the URL could be something like ‘http://mysite.com/beverly-hills-wedding/’ instead of ‘http://mysite.com/?p=1′? This is an easy fix in WordPress. * In the admin area, navigate to settings>permalinks. * Under ‘Common Settings’ you will probably see that ‘default’ is checked off. * Under that is a series of options for more SEO friendly (and reader friendly) URLS. * ‘Month and Name’ is best for sites with one author. * ‘Day and Name’ would be better for a multi author site where you might expect tbe publishing a large amount of content.

Jason, thank you very much. All that i do know and use, but still, I appreciate it. The page titles are not a problem. What i can't figure out is the title of the site/blog itself. It's mot showing when RSS is submitted.
mmm - odd - what is it grabbing instead of the title - or is it just not putting a title in? maybe its the feed you're using... what feed service? i use platinum seo in some of mine and title is only thing i see in feed. on feedburner...
IIRC the plugins grab the title from header.php whether you hard code it or not - try putting your hand written title in the <title> part of header.php and see if the rss sends. IIRC I think the plugins grab the contents of <title> meta (dynamic or not) and then replace it with their own setting as defined in the admin tools. So I wonder if the wp_head is not finishing to complete the page title before the rss sends the page?
