    Hi all. Well, I have scoured the forum for answers, and unfortunatly I’m not AT ALL savvy at coding so I’ll need help in baby terms. I know HTML but this is a whole new world for me.

    I have two problems and if you check my site, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about https://dianereiter.com

    If you check my blog, you’ll ses the title appear in blue beneath my banner momentarly until the page loads completely. You’ll actually also see a white one, too but I can deal with that. I have NO idea how to get rid of this..where to go, what to do.

    The other problem is on my About page (the tab for this page is top left). The page title is showing up twice “About About.” NO idea how to get rid of this one, either.

    Can anyone give me a hand?

    Thanks a million!

    Sounds great! THANKS!

    Don’t forget to mark the thread resolved… With a capitol R. Show some pride. (haha)

    Glad it worked out! Happy new year!

    Hiding element via CSS?
    Same color for background and foreground?
    Font-size:0?

    Hey you will be penalized from Google at the speed of light!

    Follow this advice: If you do not a thing delete it from the markup (html). Don’t hide via CSS ??

    Thanks, that was my original suggestion. seems to be varied opinion on that point.

    Ok deepbevel and YouON,

    Originally, deepbevel said to go into my settings and delete the title. Everything I have read says NOT to do this because it will cause google problems. I have also read that “hiding” the title will allow crawlers to pick up my site while making the title invisible to you, me, and the next guy.

    So, I guess I’m just going to pay the dude to help me out and see what his opinion is in regards to this.

    The end.

    I still count our effort as a victory. Good luck, Please let us know what you discover.

    Well, it’s technically not a viotory unless it’s done right. SOOOOO…to make everyone involved happy, I changed everything back to the way it was, THEN I changed the following:

    h1.logo-name
    {
    display: block;
    text-align: left;
    }

    to

    h1.logo-name
    {
    display: block;
    text-align: bottom;
    }

    Now go ahead someone. Tell me I’m messing up my google ranking blah, blah, blah by putting the logo at the bottom where no one will see it as the page loads…

    Never mind. That didn’t work either!

    Sorry guys I don’t understand well english, but what is the problem now?

    Still trying to hide the site title without losing seo, which I thought was the whole point of the css fix.
    Hey direiter, did you try a crazy margin? like 3000px?

    I’ve done nothing since yesterday. I’m too irritated.

    deepbevel, I thought both YouON and you agreed that by hiding the title, I’d run into SEO problems.

    I have tried changing the color, the font size, and just tried changing the margin to 3000 and there was no change. I think there is something really weird with this theme but since I have no clue what I’m doing beyond the basics, I’m pretty much stuck.

    I told you to delete h1 in markup. h1 is useful for seo but not if hidden by an image. If you don’t want to delete, move it to another area via css.

    Must be some confusion, I always understood css was a good way to avoid seo problems, countless articles which suggest this. Initially I suggested not using a site title, which I also read was okay.
    I know nothing about seo beyond what I’ve read. My only 2 goals here were to fix a double post title and hide your site title with css, which I did. Nothing to do with seo.

    Okay, okay deepbevel…I was responding to your post from yesterday in response to YouON.

    I thought CSS was a good way of hiding it too. At least from what I read. And I gotcha, YouON. I understand what you’re saying…

    And that’s right! Double title was fixed and the site title was gone.
