Do either of these things actually *work* for SEO? Usually the conventional wisdom about SEO is wrong, and the stuff that goes into the head tag is getting less and less important. IIRC it seems the best thing to do is simply have valid HTML markup, with proper tag hierarchy (i.e. header tags followed by contents).

If "post - blog" is better than "blog - post", why do so many sites use the latter?

And putting all categories and archives into the header seems a bit excessive - that would be adding 20 lines to my header tag, and again, does it actually *do* anything?

I was working on my typo blog yesterday evening and noticed 2 little
things that may help typo blogs to be better referenced

1/ in the <title></title> field, put the post title before the blog
title.

You just need to replace the page_title function in app/helpers/
articles_helper.rb by

def page_title
     if @page_title
       # this is where the page title prefix (string) should go
       @page_title + " - " +  (this_blog.title_prefix ? "#
{this_blog.blog_name || "Typo"}" : '')
     else
       this_blog.blog_name || "Typo"
     end
   end

The second one is to add the categories and archives as links in the
header :

<link rel="section" href="/articles/2006/12" title="December 2006" />
... same for categories

And I was too lazy to dive in the code yet.
