I have been told the Google in particular pays an inordinate amount of attention to the HTML title of the page when ranking search results.

I made it so that in single post (permalink view) the blog entry title shows up as the HTMl page title. Here's how: http://ncyoung.com/permaLink/89

This is a template tag from the next release, that does just what you need.
[php:1:3eae48aece]function single_post_title($prefix = '', $display = 1) {
global $p;
if (intval($p)) {
$post_data = get_postdata($p);
if ($display) {
echo $prefix.strip_tags(stripslashes($post_data['Title']));
} else {
return strip_tags(stripslashes($post_data['Title']));
}
}
}[/php:1:3eae48aece]
You use it like that:
[php:1:3eae48aece]<?php /* don't delete this line */ $blog=1; include('blog.header.php'); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>my blog's title <?php single_post_title(':: '); ?></title>
</head>
<body>

...other template tags go here...

</body>
</html>[/php:1:3eae48aece]
It works like that: if you load the page without a 'p' parameter, it won't display anything but "my blog's title", but if you load it with ?p=something, it would display "my blog's title :: this post's title".
