  Hello,
  I would like the title on my home page to be “Modern Day Hippie” but I would not like the headline with the title “Modern Day Hippie” to show on the home/front page. I think I need to add coding to fix this. I understand that I can leave the title blank, but I figured it would be best to actually name it and to remove it by coding to help get recognized by the Google Search Engine. Can you please help me? Thank you.

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

  You can use the customizer settings to either display or not display the site title. See here https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

  Thank you for responding. I understand this, but I do not see an option for my theme. I do not want to change my theme. I just want to remove the title from view.
  If you look at my page here: http://moderndayhippie.net/ you will be able to see “Modern Day Hippie” in the top left corner (which on customization I can remove- but I like that and do not want that removed). I have a header image which also says “Modern Day Hippie” and I do not want that removed. I want the additional title on my page that runs through the bottom of the header image to be gone. I don’t know if this is possible in the way I am thinking. If I go into pages, I can simply just not title it. I was thinking the search engines might respond to the title if it was listed, just not shown. This is why I was thinking coding was needed.

  The detailed theme description page for your theme is here https://wordpress.com/themes/pictorico/

  Yes, I looked at your site.
  Yes, I saw the site title on the header image.
  Yes, I did exactly what I instructed you to do in a test blog using the same theme before I posted.

  Use the customizer please. https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

  In it you will find this and you will be able to disable Display Header Text under Site Identity.

  Site Identity
  Site Title
  Tagline
  __Display Header Text

  That will achieve exactly what you want.
