I'm using Aaron Schaefer's Optimal title wordpress plugin<\/a> to modify the way wordpress displays the title by default. This plugin provides a function similar to wp_title() but your title will not contain \"blog archive\" in front of your post's title and this is good for seo.<\/p>\n

You will have to modify your header template and replace the call to wp_title with a call to optimal_header().
\nIn a previous post I presented a plugin for integrating Jerome's keywords plugin with google sitemaps<\/a>, this post will show you how to integrate it with the optimal title plugin.<\/p>\n


\nI had to modify a the optimal_header function a bit because I use Jeorme's keywords plugin for tagging and I wanted the tag to be included in the title for better search engine indexing. I had to add the next piece of code right before the return from the optimal_title() function ( in optimal_title.php ) , actually before the line \"\/\/ send out the generated optimal title accordingly\" :<\/p>\n

if(function_exists('is_keyword') && is_keyword())
\n$optimal_title=get_the_search_keytag().\" $sep \".$optimal_title;
\n}<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now the title of a tag page looks like \"tag_name | PatchLog\"<\/p>\n
