    Hi

    I want my titles for my entry’s searchable so if you copy and past the title into google search,,, if unique enough it pulls up. I think i can do this with a <meta> tag but don’t know where to edit? Dose anyone know how to do this?

    Ps.. Child theme of 2011

    I’m not sure what you’re asking, but here’s an attempt…

    You’ll need to delve into Search Engine Optimisation.
    Here’s a guide from Google

    Google doesn’t rely on meta tags.

    To correct the duplicate issue for the title / post’s not indexing. This is the config your header.php needs, so the title dose not duplicate and your posts index properly.

    make sure your <title> between </title> looks like this then check the page source. It should be the post title then | then blog name. This is the new and only way Google will index a post title correctly so if you copy your post title into the browser it will pull up the post in the search.
    aFTER you change the header to the correct config. Log into Google web master tools.
    Under ” health ” click ” fetch as Google ” leaving just your primary domain in the fetch tool. Click fetch then click ” submit for index ” MAKE SURE YOU PICK OPION 2. This will reindex the entire site.

    <?php
    /**
     * The Header for our theme.
     *
     * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="main">
     *
     * @package WordPress
