For your page title, you need to edit the header.php and find the title tags, then remove what's within there and replace it with my PHP code in my previous comment.

Sorry to be such a noobie ... but are all of the code suggestions you've given done on the styles.css page? Also, how (and where) do I add the code so that my header is read as my blog title? Thanks for all you do helping others ... you're awesome! *huGs* Suzanne Hi Sarah ~ Great post!

My own home page title is now constructed using the blog description followed by the blog name ie. <code>if (is_home()) : bloginfo('description'); else : wp_title(''); endif; echo " :: "; bloginfo('name');</code> Which simply says, if it's the home page then display the description else display the correct page title (category name or post title), followed by two colons and the sitename. This way if you want to change it just go to Options - General and change your description in the admin panel :D Just an addition to this.
