How to Remove Blogger Title Tag

One of the best ways to get more traffic to your blog is to use very basic, or sometimes very specific words in your article titles. If, for example, your blogger post is "DIY Vintage Wrought Iron Tables" then you'd think that an individual searching for "DIY vintage wrought iron tables" would see your blog post as least in the first one or two pages of their google search results. However (!), this usually isn't the case since blogger automatically sets, rather unfortunately, the name of your blog right before the name of your article:

All you need to do is switch up the order by changing a few bits of html code in your blogger theme/layout. So, in fact, you're not really deleting the blogger tags so much as moving them to the end of the blog article title. Once you've completed the straightforward hack, your article should look like this in the search results:

DIY Vintage Wrought Iron Tables | Steampunk Furniture
