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?

"If you look lower down on your recent entries page, you'll see that it does say 'Imaginary Footlights' there."

Gee, thanks for clearing that up for me, Vass. I could never have seen that without your help. (rolls eyes)

Just about everywhere in the Universe other than Dreamwidth, the title for the page is what one finds atop the screen, and so one can reasonably say that this is what the word means in English, when applied to any sort of webpage. If the staff wishes to create a private language for itself, it's free to do so, but I don't have time for semantic game playing, even if indulging in that sort of nonsense is an ever so 21st century kind of thing to do.

Just to clear this up, I'm not a staff member. I am an ordinary site user who was spending my time answering your question.

Everywhere else in the Universe, you mean like on LiveJournal, where much of the original source code and terminology for Dreamwidth originated? It's only been like that since the 20th century, you know. (LiveJournal was founded in 1999.)

Titlebar, just for easy reference.
