The Title section in Header.php contains the codes which displays your Wordpress title. This is important because search engine listings will display your post title followed by a description of your post. I began to notice that all of my listings had the words Blog Archive in them which was unneccesary and caused part of the titles displayed to be cut off.

To remove the words Blog Archive, do this:

1. Log into your self hosted Wordpress blog and click Presentation
2. Click on Theme Editor
3. On the right handside of your browser window, select Header from the list of theme files
4. Look for this line of code just a few lines from the top.<title><?php bloginfo(’name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
5. Remove this section => <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } ?>

   The remaining portion should look like this:

   <title><?php bloginfo(’name’); ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

6. Click Update File to save the file.
