<title>

Any chance of an extra setting field for freeform title, which would fill the <title> tag in the outputted html.

Surprised no-one has asked for this. It's an essential part of SEO thesedays.

It currently just shows the domain name in the title bar & tabs.

Hi there Tifosi,

Grant is right that Google doesn't allow us to SEO domains, as I mentioned last week. I think that adding a <title> box wouldn't be a bad idea and wouldn't really constitute 'active SEO-ing' of the pages as much as just giving the pages a leg up in the search engines. I'm just concerned that people may abuse such a feature by hammering the title with phrases like loans / finance etc.

Hi Ed

It would be an idea I'd like introduced. It's not SEO as such. Just good standards complience.

Options wold be to have a select option list per subcategory. But I'd like a 15-25char freeform text. That absolves you (hopefully) of any seo action, and puts the resonsibility on the domainer to put a relevent title in. It would need some monitoring, and disentives for rule breaking.

Most modern cms allow freeform title addition / and some a dynamic one, although I understand this is slightly diferent.

Hmm, I like the idea of a per category default title as a stopgap. This would solve the immediate problem of free text being an issue while upping the search engine compatability.
