@ Alchymyth – I have already read the documentation you linked to, it’s useless, since it offers nothing in a way of removing the site name from the titles. in addition, it’s even more confusing, since it talks about “bloginfo(‘name’)” and I don’t have that in my header.php code, just wp_title().
I ended up solving the problem by using a SEO plugin, something I was hoping to avoid. The people behind the SEO plugin obviously knew what to do to remove the blog name from the titles, I was hoping someone here would share the secret…
