Wordpress <title> - how to make it better? Like Shawn's :D

I really like how shawn has his title's set up there isn't that annoying >> thing and the blog name is at the end, and it doesn't show up at all at the single post.

does anyone know how to do this? i don't know PHP and made an attempt to but it just ran up some errors

 

I'm not sure how Shawn did it, but here is how I have done it:

<title><?php wp_title(' '); ?><?php if(wp_title(' ', false)) { echo ' - '; } ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

PHP:

 

thanks, does that go into the header template file?

 

depends on which template you are using, but ordinarily yes.
