I know this sounds too simple to be true, but so help me, I can't find the damn file to change to change my blog title. I'm using B2, and it's not in the templates offered in the software, but there is a text editing function for files.

All I really want to do is change the silly title from "my weblog" to something a little more personalized.

Anybody want to explain this to me? I know it must be simple to more advanced users, but it's not to me.

Thanks,
Sam

Open b2.php or index.php or whatever you have renamed it to, and edit it in a text editor. Usually it's in the head section between

[stevem]

It's in b2config.php line 18

[Sam_s]

"Open b2.php or index.php or whatever you have renamed it to, and edit it "

Tried that already. Doesn't do it.

"It's in b2config.php line 18"

OK, I found it there, but my B2 software (online) doesn't allow writing over that particular file. So I guess I'll try using a text editor and uploading the file. A little scary for me, since I've never written any kind of HTML.

Thanks,
Sam

Doing the <title> change should work.

My config says "Life between stations" but I retitled it to "Just another weblog".

"If you want to use the online editor you need to use your uploader to chmod b2config.php to 766 (if using Linux)."

OK, Steve or Sigg. Are you in the business? I'm scared to try to change any of my files at my level of code (in)competence.

But I'd be happy to give a free ad on the site to anyone who will go in and change the title and add a subtitle for me.

Thanks,
Sam

Do you have a FTP client?

Then (in WS_FTP or CuteFTP):

1) Log on to your server
2) Find the file discussed
3) Right-click it and choose "Edit"
4) In notepad or editpad or any text-editor (No, not Words) find the line that says <title>"some php code"</title>
5) delete "some php code"
6) Write your own title
7) Close the file, and when it says you have to save it click YES
It should upload it.

9) BAM!

Or, for further editing:

When the updated file is uploaded, right-click and choose permissions or something, and CHMOD.

In the entry field, enter 766 and click enter. Refresh afterwords to see that the changes are in effect.
