In the previous tutorial we showed you how to set up permalinks, as we continue our series on basic Wordpress features we will now cover how to change your Wordpress site title or tagline. Let's start with a short recap of some WordPress terminology. The WordPress Site Title usually appears above the Tagline and is usually larger than the Tagline. Keep in mind that, every theme has a different style and some even hide, the Site Title, the Tagline, or even both. Below are two examples showing the location of the Site Title and Tagline in two different themes.
