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?

Exactly, except...

I had to put the org's name, then the page title in so the user and the search engines would find them easily.

These days it's advised best practice to put the page title first, then org name, for most circumstances. There are exceptions, but it's to do with the way people respond to search results pages, they tend to scan and normally go to the next line after glancing at the first three words.

Ergo, title first, as that should be what they're actually looking for.

And there are a large chunk of authors that use LJ as their main or only presence, and there'll be a few politicians using DW when some of the other features we've planned are live (and not just lowend politicians like me and SB, hopefully).
