In WordCamp: SEO speech it is suggested to “Modify your title tags to say the title of the post entry first and then your blog name. (or remove your blog name from the title tag all together).” So I removed the blog name from the title on the template on one of my other WordPress driven sites (ShowBizRadio). Unfortunately, the home page then did not have a title at all. I added this code to the header.php template, and all is well:
<title><?php
if (is_home()) {
echo 'ShowBizRadio: Theatre information for Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland';
} else {
wp_title('');
}
?></title>
