Hi John,
You’ll want to edit the templates\header.php file, and look for the following piece of code about 15 lines from the top:
<div id="caption">
<h1 id="title"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div id="tagline"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
</div>
Simply remove the <div id="tagline"> line, so the code looks like this:
<div id="caption">
<h1 id="title"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
</div>
You’ll still have the H1 for your SEO, but the caption will be gone. Hope this helps!
A better option for SEO purposes would be to use the original markup:
<div id="caption">
<h1 id="title"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div id="tagline"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
</div>
and replace #header h1 {display:none;} in style.css with:
#header h1,#tagline {position:absolute;top:-500px;left:-5000px}
which leave both the blog title & description available for the search engines but removes them from graphical browsers.
That was easy. Thanks for your help!
