  My blog has a long title, so I’d like to add a break tag to it. Also, would like to add a span to the text after the break. I’ve turned off the visual editor in my profile, and added this to the title:

  [sourcecode language='html']<br />[/sourcecode]

  (are the backticks needed here?)

  (anyway, typed out, not pasted). But it’s shown as plain text in the blog h1 tag.

  This is such a simple concept, what am I doing wrong? The blog is scaffoldingquality.wordpress.com; thanks for any help.

  What Teck is saying is that HTML cannot be used in a blog title.

  Actually it is possible.

  BUT, this is a solution that works well for the tagline and NOT so well for the blog title.
  Here’s why: It will make the display on the page look the way you want. But it will display a <br /> in the browser title. That might look ugly.

  POSSIBLE SOLUTION,
  with the All-in-one-SEO plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/) you can edit the title that appears in the browser (among other features).
  It is possible to erase the <br /> by editing the settings in all-in-one-seo.

  NOW,
  If you are willing to go through all of that just for a space you deserve a medal…

  @ toritaiyo

  We cannot use plugins here at wordpress.COM.

  And the solution in the link you gave is for self-hosted blogs. It will not work here at .COM

  You need to read the post at the top of the forum to see the difference between wordpress.COM and wordpress.ORG.
