I know this is minor but pixies.ca has a nice tip to make the title tag of your blog more search engine friendly. By default WordPress outputs the blog title when on the home page. Then blog name plus post title for individual entries. This small hack displays the blog name and blog description on the home page.
[php]
< ? bloginfo('name'); ?> < ? if ( is_home() ) { ?> » < ? bloginfo('description'); ?>< ? } ?> < ? if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive < ? } ?> < ? wp_title(); ?>
[/php]

Right?
