Propaganda Party: The Pop Stalin Design Manifesto

I’ve searched long and hard trying to find a way to add the page name to the title tag dynamically to my WordPress blog page when I’m using WordPress as a CMS. I finally found the solution that I was able to understand at ‘Web Designer Wall.’ I changed his code a bit to suit my own needs and thought I’d paste the code here for anyone who may need it (and as a repository for me for future use).

The following PHP code should be placed between your title tags in the header.php file.

if (is_home()) {
	echo 'News - Pop Stalin Design: Web Design With Standards'; wp_title('');
} elseif (is_404()) {
	echo '404 Not Found'; echo ' - '; echo bloginfo('name');
} elseif (is_category()) {
	echo 'Categories - '; echo wp_title(''); echo ' - '; echo bloginfo('name');
} elseif (is_search()) {
	echo 'Search Results'; echo ' - '; echo bloginfo('name');
} elseif ( is_day() || is_month() || is_year() ) {
	echo 'Archives - '; wp_title('');
} else {
	echo wp_title(''); echo ' - '; echo bloginfo('name');
}
?>

This code seems overly verbose to me but until I can figure out something more concise, this is what I’ll be using.
