here is the one I use, maybe u find it helpful:
<title><?php
if (is_home () ) {
echo “Weblog: “;
bloginfo(‘name’);
} elseif ( is_category() ) {
single_cat_title();
echo ” – “;
bloginfo(‘name’);
} elseif (is_single() || is_page() ) {
single_post_title();
echo ” (https://www.cogmios.nl – Edward de Leau)”;
} elseif (is_search() ) {
echo “You searched Cogmios.nl for: “;
echo wp_specialchars($s);
} else {
wp_title(”,true);
} ?> </title>
1) I use the “weblog:” verb so people who bookmark it know its a weblog
2) On the homepage they see just the title
3) On a single posting (permalink) page they see the name of the posting, so when you find it in a search engine you see just the name of the topic of the post and not the blogname. It is then followed by my blog name for some branding.
4) the other ones are pretty default: categories (since i dont use them (dont want to categorize 7500 blogpostings)) and search also.
So just replace it in the mostly “header.php” file in your theme via your wordpress admin console.
