Title for static home page

I am trying to get my static home page title to show without a hyphen but I am not having any success.

Here is my code:

<title>
<?php
if (function_exists(‘is_tag’) && is_tag()) {
single_tag_title(“Tag Archive for “”); echo ‘” – ‘; }
elseif (is_archive()) {
wp_title(”); echo ‘ Archive – ‘; }
elseif (is_search()) {
echo ‘Search for “‘.wp_specialchars($s).'” – ‘; }
elseif (!(is_404()) && (is_single()) || (is_page())) {
wp_title(”); echo ‘ – ‘; }
elseif (is_404()) {
echo ‘Not Found – ‘; }
if (is_home()) {
bloginfo(‘name’); echo ‘ – ‘; bloginfo(‘description’); }
else {
bloginfo(‘name’); }
if ($paged>1) {
echo ‘ – page ‘. $paged; }
?>
</title>

Can someone please help?

I get a hyphen at the beginning of the title. I want the hyphen to remain when secondary pages and the titles are presented but I do not want the hyphen on the front page.

Thanks in advance!
