I’m just realising now that while I mentioned that I fixed my Wordpress titles and all of the rational behind why I went about it the wrong way the first time around, I neglected to mention exactly how I fixed them.
One of the problems with Wordpress titles is that they are normally displayed as BlogName >> PostTitle. While that makes a lot of sense logically it’s not all that great for SEO purposes, nor is it very helpful for people who bookmark multiple pages from a single blog. For those reasons, a lot of people prefer to have a simpler title in the form of PostTitle.
In order to do this, go edit the Header file by going to the Presentation -> Theme Editor -> header.php. In that file, near the top you’ll find the wp_title function in between the title HTML tags. Set it to look like wp_title(''), hit save and you’re done. Your post titles should now be showing in the form PostTitle. It’s an easy fix and will put you in a better overall position overall with respect to SEO.
