My blog doesn't seem to have a title. It is also quite slow

    Hello.

    I started a WordPress site at blog.613photo.com last week. I have two main problems with it. One is that it has no title. In the browser tab it just has the URL up there. When I was starting up I seem to remember a place to type in a title, but I didn’t want the text on my page (title is in header image) so I left it blank. Well, now I can’t even find where to enter a title.

    Also, my main site on the same domain is fast, but the wordpress site on the subdomain is excruciatingly slow. Dial up slow, even. It took me almost two minutes to load a page while ago. Sometimes it is faster. And people tell me it’s not slow, though the site isn’t finished and not many people have seen it yet. In any event, it’s extremely slow for me most of the time, and it’s bad enough that I don’t even want to work on the site.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks to everyone who helped and tried to help. I’ve had a long day…didn’t want to sound ungrateful.

    If you know an example how about share it?

    @thorshammer: And if I’d been able to see the site, I’d have posted the exact mod. Vague examples are of no use when someone doesn’t understand CSS at all, in my experience. And I have been doing this for a while…

    I didn’t find an ADMIN way to turn off having the site TITLE show up as text in your page header. Next best thing: edit the head.php file. Just comment out the code line (inside the first DIV) that says:

    <h1 class=”logo”>/”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>

    (Sorry, there’s also some PHP code inside the line above, but when I paste it into blockquotes it keeps getting executed instead of just displayed.)
    NOTE: there might be two such code statements in that file, depending on your theme.
    This template file is found in your theme’s top directory.

    Thanks Esmi.
    Taken me awhile to get back here, among other things owing to getting to know how WordPress does things differently than Drupal. It didn’t help that the theme I chose – iVA, an otherwise well-written theme – had an obscure call in the header.php to a “custom.php” file. I beat my head against the wall trying to figure out why I couldn’t change the background to div.main – until I finally discovered that custom file overriding my choices for that and a few other key elements. aargh.

    Sorry didn’t give site example, couldn’t really at the time. Site is:
    https://www.asgardforge.com/blueblueberrycompany.ca/?page_id=28. I’ve already changed the head.php (per above). I still think that should be handled in Admin…
