Browser Headline
-
Hi again. I think I asked this before, but my computer was on the fritz for a few days and I didn’t get around to seeing the answer, and now I can’t find it. Sorry for asking twice. Just wondering if it’s possible to change what it says about my blog/site in the browser headline. Currently it just reads ‘Hockey-Nerd – Windows Internet Explorer’. But I’d like ‘Hockey-Nerd’ to be followed by a sentence about my site. I presume this would help me attract more attention from search engines? Or am I off base with that? Let me know. Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What you see in your browser is the URL for the blog. This is normal. Search spiders cannot “read” text in images and you have an header that contains a blog title they cannot read. You chose not to display header text on the Theme Options page so the Blog Title and Tagline are not displaying.
That’s not problematic unless you have removed the blog title from the page where the Blog Title and Tagline for the blog are expected to be found by search engine spiders. If they do not find it here > Settings > General your content my not be indexed.
On that same page you can enter a Tagline (brief branding message) for your blog and Google may or may not choose to display it in a snippet in search results. See here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2009/06/22/creating-an-effective-blog-tagline/
Google may or may not choose to display snippets from your About page. have you optimized yours? http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/04/06/why-about-pages-are-essential/
