Why change the title of your blog pages?

You know that search engines such as Google and Yahoo take webpage titles into account in order to pull keywords out. Now, the title of every page of your blog is constituted by two parts:

1. a fixed part, indicating your blog title (i.e. “Franciov Weblog“);
2. a variable part, indicating your page/post title (i.e. “Why (and how to) change the title of your blog pages (in Wordpress)“).

Using some good sense, you can realize by yourself that the most important keywords are located in the variable part of the title, that is the one containing the most relevant words of your post. Therefore moving the variable part before the fixed one doesn’t seem to be a bad idea.
