Seo for wordpress
 
I've just come across a site that says you should do this

1. Change the default title
What it looks like:

< ?php bloginfo(’name’); ?> < ?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive < ?php } ?> < ?php wp_title(); ?>

What you should change it to:

< ?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo(’name’); echo ‘ - ‘; bloginfo(’description’); }
elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); echo ‘ - ‘ ; bloginfo(’name’); }
elseif (is_single() ) { single_post_title();}
elseif (is_page() ) { single_post_title();}
else { wp_title(”,true); } ?>

What does this do? It changes a title from looking like: WordPress Blog » Blog Archive » Post Title to Post Title
Why is this important? SEs will rank the site higher for the actual post title.

The thing is, I cant find the
Code:

< ?php bloginfo(’name’); ?> < ?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive < ?php } ?> < ?php wp_title(); ?>
in the revolution themes. Is this tip old school now? Or is the revolution themes already been tweaked?

Stu, you could make these tweaks and they will work. I suggest that you just install the All-In-One SEO plugin as it will cover all the bases regarding Wordpress blog SE Optimization, including the tweaks you mention and then some.
