Page Title Inversion
After reading Alex’s entry about page titles, I’ve flipped the wp_title() and the bloginfo() callouts on my single-entry template. The title will now appear first. On this entry, it will be: Page Title Inversion @ The Indiana Jones School of Management. I think that works better.
Note that wp_title() has a default separator of » that will trip you up if you don’t know it’s there, and the separator shows up before the post title. [Not good, I say!] If you put make it wp_title(”), though, you won’t have a separator at all. You’ll need to hardcode a separator between wp_title() and bloginfo(), though.
[...] It would be sweet to have the WordPress CodEx pingable. When I was writing up my entry on inverting page titles, I was wanting to be able to TrackBack that entry so that people could see how I was manipulating wp_title() to suit my real-world needs. Using a TB in this case would allow me to contribute to the CodEx with a real-world example without me actually having to mess with a wiki. Don’t make me do more work, and I’ll contribute more! [...]

October 29th, 2005 at 22:00Mmmmmm. I don’t really look at my date archives, but I should. [Actually, I need to develop a template for them.] Thanks for pointing that out, Alex … I agree, wp_title() needs some work.

I just inverted the page titles for GFMorris.com, GFMorris.org, and Imperfect Mirror as I have here. I can’t believe that I didn’t invert them when I did the ones here…
