   header, can someone please tell me how to modify the code or what to remove from
   the code (I’m also a php newbie, so an example of where to change would be much
   appreciated

 * Make a backup of your files before commencing…
 * Probably need to change
    `<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?
   ></title>`
 * to
    `<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>`

 * Hi, I was reading the forum and seen a post saying you leave the title and description
   under options and delete
 * <h1>” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘My Blog’); ?>”><?php bloginfo(‘My Blog’); ?></h1
   >
    <h2><?php bloginfo(‘Test Blog’);?></
 * I did that and it worked 🙂
 * Thanks
