changing blog-title: how to??

  • in title for my blog it says: “your title here”.. but when I look @ code in the header I find this:

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

    so how on earth do you change the title?? (can I comment out all this code and hard-code the title I want???)

    thank you..

  • No, you shouldn’t touch anything – that’s a golden rule for situations when you don’t know what are you doing ??

    Where is the “your title here” thing you are referring to? Give details and leave the code alone…

    I uploaded img thru WP interface, get this error after clicking on “upload”:

    Unable to create directory /home/francesb/public_html/home/wp-content/uploads/2007/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server? and why doesn’t it ask you WHERE you want to put image???

    I’m a web developer, I hand-code everything, I hate the way you have to edit blogs…

    there should be a blog-program out there for us developers….;)

    thank you…

    What does exactly “web developer” mean nowadays… if you don’t understand basic concepts and basic code?

    ehm… may I suggest to at least make the developers’ effort to read the Codex? Alternatively developing a CMS yourself might be an option.

    the title appears where title appears, in between <title>…</title> tags in header.. url:

    https://www.francesblog.com/home/

    you see it in browser window, on top… where you always see the title…;)

    what does “web developer” mean exactly? good question.. I build websites from scratch with JSP, struts/tiles, custom tags, XSL stylesheets… I hand-code everything, HTML, css, JavaScript, XSL (and do some JSP scriptlets too.. certainly in my personal stuff (www.francesdelrio.com) I have tomcat-hosting (for JSP) and hand-code all JSP scriptlets myself (equiv to what’s inside <?php….?> in PHP..) I also do some MySQL stuff…) example of a site I built: https://www.hdexpo.com/hdexpo/3550/index.jsp (design not mine, I write the code following the design-specs in Photoshop mockup…) does this qualify as a web-developer?? I hope so…:)

    I’m new at blog-editing and find some aspects of it a bit confusing.. would appreciate some help.. pls, what did I do wrong when I switched themes that I get these errors????? thank you very much..

    Congratulations on your developer-ness.

    The first Option you encounter in your Options > General tab is ‘Weblog Title’.

    Another Option is to start reading First Steps With WordPress as without that basic knowledge the rest of your capabilities won’t get you any further.

    But don’t take my word for it..

    I know this syndrome from my family – except that my son admits it… He has a Computer Science degree and works as a program and application developer at one of the biggest IT companies in US, however, (by his own words) he “sucks when it comes to XHTML and CSS” and he is not able to make or modify a WP theme ??

    I don’t understand 99% of what is he doing but I know WP, XHTML and CSS. I can do with any theme whatever I want.
    He can help me with any kind of specific PHP and MySQL issues. We make a good team. But we know our own limitations…

    thank you very much.. yes, it was in Admin.. sorry, am not used to CMS editing!!! you keep saying that maybe I don’t know HTML or CSS well enough.. sorry, that’s not the case with me.. I do know all that stuff quite well, have been doing it for about eight years now and have always hand-coded everything.. (actually I first started learning HTML about twelve years ago, have been doing it professionally for about eight..)

    thank you again for your help..
