My site title is set as JamieDabrowiecki.com, but for some reason it shows as "Home". I have no SEO plugins.
 
Or gointo the index.html file and add
Code:
 <title>Site name</title>

If its already there just edit the line.
 
Oh didnt know It was wordpress.

Flux go to the settings and edit the site title box, should work then.

It's set to what I want, but it shows as Home.
 
Are you able to edit the coding? It may be in a configuration file, i'm not sure, never really got into wordpress
 
Check the template files for your theme, specifically the header file. It may be possible that the settings in there are set to just say 'Home' and not the blog title.

Mmmmmmmmm, I'd love to help but I have no experience with Wordpress...sorry. At least not in the design department anyway... 🙁
 
Hm....could be a conditional in the index.php
Something like <title><?php if((is_frontpage) ) echo "home" ?></title>
or something like that. See that a lot in themes.
 
This is the index.php, nothing looks out of place to me, I may have missed something though...

Code:
<?php
/**
 * Index Template
 *
 * This is the default template.  It is used when a more specific template can't be found to display
 * posts.  It is unlikely that this template will ever be used, but there may be rare cases.
 *
 * @package News
 * @subpackage Template
 */

get_header(); ?>

	<?php do_atomic( 'before_content' ); // Before content hook ?>

	<div id="content">

		<?php do_atomic( 'open_content' ); // Open content hook ?>

		<div class="hfeed">

			<?php get_template_part( 'loop-meta' ); ?>

			<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

					<?php do_atomic( 'before_entry' ); // Before entry hook ?>

					<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="<?php hybrid_entry_class(); ?>">

						<div class="entry-content">
							<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'news' ) ); ?>
							<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<p class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'news' ), 'after' => '</p>' ) ); ?>
						</div><!-- .entry-content -->

						<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'entry_meta', '<div class="entry-meta">' . __( '<span class="share">Share this on:</span> [entry-mixx-link] [entry-delicious-link] [entry-digg-link] [entry-facebook-link] [entry-twitter-link]', 'news' ) . '</div>' ); ?>

						<?php do_atomic( 'close_entry' ); // Close entry hook ?>

					</div><!-- .hentry -->

					<?php do_atomic( 'after_entry' ); // After entry hook ?>

				<?php endwhile; ?>

			<?php endif; ?>

Actually:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php do_atomic( 'before_content' ); // Before content hook ?>

<div id="content">

<?php do_atomic( 'open_content' ); // Open content hook ?>

<div class="hfeed">

<?php get_template_part( 'loop-meta' ); ?>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'byline', '<div class="byline">' . __( 'By [entry-author] on [entry-published] [entry-terms taxonomy="category" before=" in "] [entry-edit-link before=" | "]', 'news' ) . '</div>' ); ?>

<div class="entry-content">

You only had get_header(); ?> in there, you should add that too.
 
Ah, okay:

Code:
<?php
/**
 * Header Template
 *
 * The header template is generally used on every page of your site. Nearly all other
 * templates call it somewhere near the top of the file. It is used mostly as an opening
 * wrapper, which is closed with the footer.php file. It also executes key functions needed
 * by the theme, child themes, and plugins. 
 *
 * @package News
 * @subpackage Template

Try replacing:

Code:
<title><?php hybrid_document_title(); ?></title>

with

Code:
<title><?php wp_title(' '); ?></title>

That changed the title to "www.jamiedabrowiecki.com".
 
Can you try putting text between the ' '?

What's the title set to now in the ACP?
