Adding a second line in the Site Title

    I am trying to add a second line in the Site Title (so that there are three lines total in the header, including the tagline) … on our site, we currently have as the Site Title “The Learning Commons // Welcome to our Blog!” and would like it to look like this:

    The Learning Commons
    Welcome to our Blog!
    (tagline)

    Is this possible? Thank you!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    You have two fields.They are: title and tagline and that’s all you have to work with. The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General …
    “save changes”. That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it’s better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.

    If this is a CSS Editing question then use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.

    You can simulate a second line by adding a series of non breaking space entities between “The Learning Commons” and “Welcome to our Blog!”

    A non-breaking space is written like this without the spaces:
    & nbsp ;

    By adding a series of those with regular spaces between you can force your title to break into two lines. It looks okay on Big Brother theme because the theme is fully responsive and because the title is centered.

    I’ll leave you to experiment with how many spaces you’ll need to achieve the break.
    nbsp-code space nbsp-code space nbsp-code space nbsp-code space nbsp-code space nbsp-code space nbsp-code space nbsp-code space and so on…

    note: if one types the nbsp-code in these forums, then it looks like just a blank space—that’s why I had to illustrate it with spaces

    thank you for your response. i tried this and added probably hundreds of spaces and while part of the title did move to the second line, it’s not centered underneath the first line so aesthetically is not quite what I want.
