How to remove the generic title of your blog…

August 19th, 2008

When you install your wordpress blog, the only things it asks you for is your blog name and your email address.

So you enter them.  Then you upload the fancy new “clothes” that you’ve just had designed for you and your blog title, appears in the header.

You do what seems the simplest fix and that’s to take it out of the Title line in the settings, but then you realize that your RSS feed doesn’t show your blog title.

And we can’t have that, can we?

Believe it or not, there’s a simple fix.

For most templates, you’re going to want to go into your header.php file and find the string that looks like this…

<a href=”<?php echo get_option(’home’); ?>/”><?php bloginfo(’name’); ?></a>

Take out the part that says <?php bloginfo(’name’); ?>

Save your changes and your Title should no longer show up.

That easy. :D

    I’m trying to do this very thing in Wordpress, but I’ve spent hours trying to figure out where I can access the header.php file in the first place! My blog is hosted at Wordpress.com. Is that my problem, or has Wordpress made the administrative control of this very well hidden now? Help!!
