    Folks,

    I'm having trouble with my title on Wordpress.

    I would like it so that on the main site gadood.com the title displays 'Internet Marketing Thoughts by Peter Owen'

    Then on each blog post, I just want it to display '<Entry title> - GADOOD.com' like it does now.

    If anyone could advise that'd be great thanks!

    Pete

    Hi Pete,

    To change the title on your homepage, you need to the "Presentation" tab
    then "Theme Editor" subtab. You will see some pages listed on the right of
    code area.

    Click on "Main Index Template".

    Next, look in the code area. Towards the the top (you shouldn't need to
    scroll down), you see code that begins with <title>.

    Just type in Internet Marketing Thoughts by Peter Owen within the
    title tags so it looks like this:

    <title>Internet Marketing Thoughts by Peter Owen</title>
    Code (markup):
    Then click on Update File button.

    That should do it.

    Regards,
    Bina.

    Hi Bina,

    Thanks for the reply, though I don't see the <title> tags in there.

    The only title tags I see are in header.php, and if I change them to <title>Internet Marketing Thoughts by Peter Owen</title> each blog entry wouldn't have its own individual title.

    Am I'm missing something?

    Regards,

    Pete
