Like a lot of marketers I keep track of the Shoemoney blog.  I am also pretty sure that Shoe was not one who figured out this little tip himself he was my source for learning it.  If you want to read the entire version of it you can do so at Shoe's Blog post called, My Favorite Little Wordpress Tricks and Plugins. 

Jeremy explains the PHP code behind this tip and if you want to understand it better read his blog post about it, I am going to give you the Jack Spirko shortened version, in other words, just the problem and solution.

Problem

Many times the title of most word press blogs posts looks like this

>>Title of the Post - Name of Blog  

or it may look like this  

>>Name of Blog - Title of Post

Those two little >> marks are annoying and effect the title tag in the search engine results and anywhere they are displayed.  If you don't know PHP and try to remove them you won't have much luck.  They stem from some type of code nuiance I don't really have any desire to understand.

Solution - Go into your Wordpress Theme Editor, open your header file and look for the following

wp_title()

Now in between the perentheses enter this command, ”",”False”  or in other words make it look like this

wp_title(”",”False”)

Save the file and done the >> will no longer show up in your title.

That is pretty much the whole thing, I recommend you use this in combination with my tip on a Simple Word Press Title Modification, to clean up your Wordpress blog title tags.
