Removing Blog Name from Article Titles

    So I have been googling around and have found out how to remove my blog name from the titles of my articles... in an aim to improve my seo.

    However I have just written an article, checked it in google (it's there), however it's displaying my blog name in the title... even though if I view the article my blog name isn't in the title bar...

    What have I missed?

    Thanks everyone.

    Check the date on the cached version at Google. It may be an old page with the old title.

    Maybe odd, but maybe googlebot got to it right before the change was made.

    If you're using the all-in-one seo pack or the platinum seo plugin just click on the plugin and you'll see several fields you can eliminate:

    %post_title% | %blog_title%

    change to:

    %post_title%
