I've tried posting this as a support ticket, but nobody seems to be answering those, so I'll try here. I've set the title of my new blog to be "Imaginary Footlights", or at least I thought I did, but when I look at the top of the screen on my blog

http://joseph-dunphy.dreamwidth.org/

instead of seeing the title, I see "joseph-dunphy | recent entries", which to my eye looks more than a little sloppy. Obviously, your system does allow one to have the title of one's blog appear there, as it should, as one can see by looking at a few of the other user's blogs, like this one

http://mikeweaver.dreamwidth.org/

but I can't see how he did that. How does one do that?

"carefully steps across the sarcasm oozing across the floor"

Sarcasm from your little butt kissing friends, but that's almost to be expected in a help forum. You've gotten nothing but sincerity from me.

I would really, seriously, like to see Dreamwidth do a better job than they're doing, now, and prosper in the process. But if we should find that they can't or won't respond to reasonable criticism with a higher level of maturity than that shown by the usual forgettable fanboys, straight out of central casting, then they'll deserve nothing more than the oblivion that overtakes most companies that aren't willing to make a real effort.

We are responsible, in life, for our own bad choices, when those choices are informed ones. Anybody who feels otherwise has a lot of growing up to do.

You call some of your comments in here 'reasonable'?

I don't. Seriously, I agree with you on the issue you came for help with, and it's part of my job within the team to fix such problems, given it's one I personally cared about enough to learn to code in order to fix, it'll, at some point, get done, in a way that suits all users to the site.

However, accusing people of lying when they're a) not and b) trying to help you isn't reasonable. If you feel it is, then maybe this isn't the sort of site you want for a bloghost, I like my discussions to be a little bit politer and try to take those that talk to me at face value instead of assumed dishonesty. It normally helps.
