Theme header modification

Here’ I’ll give you a code snippet for free…

Try something like

<title><?php if(is_home()){ bloginfo('name'); } else { wp_title('&raquo;', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); }?></title>

If it is the homepage it will show your Blogname, otherwise it will show ‘Pagename > Blogname’. Good for SEO ??

find these lines in the style.css of your theme:
add ‘text-indent: -9999px;’ where shown, for instance. this will move the lines out of the browser window, but still have the title and description for SEO purposes.

#header h1#logo-text a {
	position: absolute;
	margin: 0; padding: 0;
	font: normal 64px Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
	letter-spacing: -1.5px;
	color: #fff;
	text-decoration: none;

	/* change the values of top and left to adjust the position of the logo*/
	top: 110px; left: 10px;
text-indent: -9999px;
}
#header h1#logo-text a:hover {
	background: none;	border: none;
}
#header p#intro {
	position: absolute;
	margin: 0; padding: 0;
	font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
	font-weight: normal;
	font-size: 18px;
	line-height: 1.6em;
	font-style: italic;
	text-transform: none;
	color: #cd9857;
	width: 400px;

	/* change the values of top and left to adjust the position */
	top: 190px; left: 15px;
text-indent: -9999px;
}

all advice here is given for free ??

Thank you both for your help. alchymyth, this trick does not work.
I am trying to make sense of the code what jaredatch posted ??
I changed it out with a title code I found in header but it made no change. I also deleted whole title line in header but this phenomenon did not dissapear.

Whats up with the free? Does it mean that normally at wordpress forums those who give aid expect financial return?

the trick with the negative text indent usually works ??

did you clear the browser cache after you made the changes (ctrl F5 or pressing refresh of the browser window) ?

another idea is add ‘visibility:hidden;’ instead of ‘text-indent: -9999px;’ or to set the ‘left: 10px;’ or ‘left: 15px;’ resp. (in the same code given above) to a large negative number.

btw – jaredatch was referring to the browser title you see in the tabs of your browser above the browser window.

(and i was referring to a contributor who offered paid work – but whose text was in the meantime deleted by a moderator.

Allright, thank you all for your ideas. For now I found a better way to present my work. But I’ll keep the tricks in mind!
