Add topic to favorites
Hello,

I’m trying to add a title to the blog for SEO benefits. But I do not want the title to appear inside the blog. You can see how it looks at http://blog.vacapedia.com

I just want the title to show up in the top bar with the browser type – again for SEO.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Under ‘Custom Image Header’ click ‘Hide Text’. That should do the trick.

Hi, tried the “Hide Text” button…but that does not hide the title text…is it a bug in the K2 lite theme?

@vacapedia: Have you done any CSS modifications on your blog?

This is a little more drastic, but you can go to options > general and delete the text in “blog title” and “tagline” and then click “save changes”.

By the way, what browser are you using? I tried hiding title text with Safari and things went all wonky and I had to use Firefox.

@tsp: But if she does that, won’t that delete the text from the browser’s title bar as well?

Yes, that is why I called it “drastic,” but what will show up in the browser title bar if the title is deleted is the URL to the blog instead.

The only way to keep the title and turn off it’s display in the header is to add this with the CSS upgrade:
```
#header .description {
display:none;
}
```
Since this theme uses the blog title text as a link to the main page, the above will take that link away. You would then have to have the “pages” widget in the sidebar to provide a link back to the main “home” page.

tsp, thank you for the suggestions. I tried the above changes but it did not work.
BTW I already have the following changes as part of the css edit –

ul.menu {
display:none;
}

Will your suggested changes work with this?

I’m sorry, I just rechecked and I actually messed up on the CSS above. I’ve tested the following on my test blot and also on your site and according to firebug it looks like it is already in the changes you have made to the CSS (without the display none).
```
#header h1 a, #header h1 a:hover, #header .description {
color: #FFFFFF;
display: none;
}
```
You had the color line, just not the display none line.

ul.menu takes away the top navigation. The above takes away the white text in the header area that overlaps the image you have up there. Again, I’ve tried this on my test blog ad also on your using Firebug and it works. Sorry I missed on my copy and paste the first time.

You’re welcome and glad I could help.

I know just enough about CSS to get me in trouble, but with firebug, I can find things using the “inspect” feature and then try various things to figure out what works.

TSP,

You might want to try Aardvark too. Personally, I use it more than Firebug.

Thanks devblog, I’ll give it a try. I actually have it installed, but have never messed with it.
