use this code to replace the current title <?php bloginfo('name');?>, this should show your blog title.

Thanks for responding. I do see that phrase several times, so do I replace every (‘name’) with my blog name. Sorry to be a pest, but I am very new at this.

I see! no you don’t need to change anything in your files, just login to your dashboard then go to setting -> general then change your blog title and tagline if you wish.

Thanks again for responding, however, I did that and it still doesn’t work. I had no trouble with some other themes, but this is one is confusing. The words Parchment Theme stay on page and my title doesn’t show up anywhere.
i doubt its called properly in your theme. could you post here your header.php content. we’ll see

This is the header info, my site is patchworkincome.com, I tried to insert but had issues so guessed I had not placed it correctly. I would like to learn how to do more with this, just haven’t found a resource yet.
Thanks again
Debbie

i don’t think that greater than sign after double quote next to <h1> is necessary to appear there, is it really there? remove that.
anyway, parchment theme there is an image, go to your style.css try to cut this code:
background-image: url(http://patchworkincome.com/wp-content/themes/parchment/images/logo.gif);
then paste it in a notepad in case you need to take it back. then save and run the theme.
when you’re trying to display a code you need to put backticks (usually located before 1 key) at the start and end of code.

Thanks for taking the time to help me. I think this is a bit over my head, tried to do some of what you suggested but still have no luck removing the words Parchment Theme, I really like the font and placement, just wish I could put my title there.
Thanks again for helping. I really appreciate your time spent.

The words Parchment Theme is not text – it’s a graphics file, so you can’t use the font to write your own title. It’s like if you had a photo of a road sign. Sorry for such an exaggerated example, just trying to be explain clearly… 🙂
To get your own title in this theme, you would need to generate your own graphics file to replace this one: logo.gif
