Wordpress: How to change post page titles?

[Ms Naughty]

Hi all
Haven't had much luck in finding info on this so I'm hoping someone here has a quick answer.

I can't find the setting on Wordpress to change what it puts in the <title> tags for each post page. This means that all my individual post pages have a title that says:
Ms Naughty Porn for Women Blog : Blog Archive : <Post name>

I want the post name to appear first.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks

Karen

It is in the header.php of your template you will find this code:

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

The first part bloginfo('name') shows the title of your site as defined. The second part (is_single) checks to see if this is a single post, if it is, it puts up the words Blog Archive followed by the title of the post.

That is where it comes from... you can re-arrange or remove the parts as needed, but remember, the same code is run on the main pages and other pages as well, so you have to be a little inventive, and check out what you doing and how it affects other pages.

Eek!
Thanks for helping Alex! Unfortunately my php skills are exceedingly close to zero, so I'm very hesitant to do any editing.

Have you got a suggestion for rearranging that code so it goes:
Post Title : Blog Title

Would it work if I did this?
<title><?php wp_title(); ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

You might want to try:

<title><?php wp_title(); ?><?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> : <?php } ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

That should work, and won't give you a blank : at the start of regular pages. As always, keep a backup of the previous version before you start.
