This is a multi-user blogging platform. We cannot access the files or edit metadata here at wordpress.com on our free hosted blogs. If you want to get into that kind of stuff you can only do so by hiring a web host and moving your content into a wordpress.ORG install.

What Google picks up off your site for a title and such, is sort of up to Google. Why they picked it up with no spaces between the words is anyone’s guess. The title that appears in the top of my browser has the spaces. Did you for any time since the blog was created have nothing entered as a blog title under settings > general? This sort of thing can happen if there is no blog title defined when Google first indexes a site.
There is not much you can do from this end although I expect that in a few months when Google completely reindexing sites (they do that about every 3-6 months) that should get corrected.

yeah it was blank for a long time…
i did put text in there just now so maybe that title will be snatched…
yeah thats pretty much what google snippets video said to, so i will hafto put some text on my home page then to kinda give it more descriptive power…

yeah the cache said may 13th or something so it could be different when they go through it again…

Google will pick up the title correctly in a little while. You will just have to wait for them to pick it up when they do a complete reindex of your site. It could happen in a week, or a month, or three months. You just never know.
Also, even though it doesn’t show in the header, include a tagline as well. The tagline will be seen by the search engines even though it doesn’t show on the blog pages.
