Answer 1

If you want to show just the name of your ExpressionEngine site (as defined in CP Home > Admin > General Configuration) use the site name global variable:

If you want to display just the current entry title from a given channel use the following:

Many Web Developers will use an Embed Variable with an Embedded Template to pass the `{entry_title} to a global embed template, allowing for a dynamic page title:

{embed="includes/header" title="{exp:channel:entries channel="{channel_name}"}{title}{/exp:channel:entries}"}

If you're using EE2, the SEO Lite Module takes care of all the hard work for you with a single line of code:

    
    {exp:seo_lite url_title="{url_title}"}

Other solutions include the Low Title Plugin (EE1, EE2).
