Help, I need to change the welcome to the frontpage title tag in Joomla

We want to help you out with how to change the title tag in Joomla. Yes, we are talking about the frontpage title tag. The one you are "stuck" with when you install Joomla 1.5 or later. This title is "Welcome to the Frontpage". Annoying, isn't it.

Well, changing it isn't that hard, if you know how to do it (like most things I guess) It must be difficult for people to change this because there is a whole lot of sites out there with the default title. Well, enoug rantering, let's go to the business and see how we can change this.

To change the home page title, do the following:

1. Log in to the Joomla backend (www.yoursite.com/administrator)
2. Go to Menus -> Main Menu -> Home -> (Parameters - System) -> Page Title
3. Change the Page Title field to what you would like to appear in the title tag of your homepage
4. You can also choose to not show the Title on the front page itself - click on «No» in the «Show Page Title» option
5. When you're done editing, click «Save»

After you have done these 5 steps you can then click on the "preview" in the top right corner to instantly see how your website has changed. Easy, wasn't it? Stay tuned on Joomlapeople for more tips, tricks and how-to's.
