I've used the StudioPress wordpress theme, it's one of my favorites, and the best part is that it's free! It has an excellent color scheme, has a clean Web 2.0 look, overall, I just love it.

As with most other Wordpress blogs that I’ve installed, I added Headspace , XML Sitemap generator and many other useful Wordpress SEO plugins. I have written earlier about my Wordpress blog SEO techniques that have worked great so far - including achieving a page rank 3 within 20 days of site launch for one of my blogs.

Studiopress was awesome, except that it gave me one major problem. It wouldn't change the Home Page Title. The home page title defaults to the Site Name- Site Decription format. If you know anything at all about SEO, you’d know that that’s a serious no-no. You want your home page’s title to be keyword rich, to include synonyms and include terms closely related to your site that your visitors are searching for. Your home page title is arguably THE most important SEO factor for your website. Of course, bad content and a great title is not going to help a lot, I am assuming that the basics of a website (good content, fast load speed, clean look and feel) are met.

I installed Headspace2. Still same issue. I installed the All-in-one SEO pack. Won’t budge. SEO Title Tag. Naaah. I finally decided to take the last resort and change the header.php file that houses the code for the home page’s title.

For some reason, I am not able to paste my code on to this post. Just email me using the contact us form and I'll send you the change.
