Page titles for my Smugmug website

Mohamed.Ghuloom

Smugmug is very fast in getting indexed by google.. I add a new album and after 30 minutes I see it indexed (wow). But there is this slight problem. All the pages get indexed with the same page title exactly.. (About us, galleries, homepage, everything)
See here

Is there a way or if no way (im suggesting this feature) to have different titles for my pages? Instead of all being like this:

LENS Photography (Photography service in Bahrain)- powered by SmugMug

LENS Photography (Photography service in Bahrain)- powered by SmugMug

LENS Photography (Photography service in Bahrain)- powered by SmugMug

LENS Photography (Photography service in Bahrain)- powered by SmugMug

it becomes like this:
LENS Photography (Photography service in Bahrain)- powered by SmugMug - Homepage

LENS Photography (Photography service in Bahrain)- powered by SmugMug - About us

LENS Photography (Photography service in Bahrain)- powered by SmugMug - Clouds & Sunsets

LENS Photography (Photography service in Bahrain)- powered by SmugMug - Galleries

LENS Photography (Photography service in Bahrain)- powered by SmugMug - University Category


We all know it's powered by Smugmug, and in the footer it always shows. Is there a way to remove that, so it becomes shorter?

It toke me 14 pages to get this done, and bottom line:

If you have gone through the other thread posted above, you would see that this is a topic / request that SmugMug has been very blatantly ignoring to even discuss. For some reason they don't even come out and say - no we will not do it

I do still think that this should be fixed..
Still my page titles are so LONG that they don't show full in google.. so when it comes to the gallery name it's "..." instead..

Come on smugmug, we don't like the "powered by smugmug" thingy.. we want our websites more like OUR OWN! Already the "powered by smugmug" will be mentioned down the website in the footer.. PLZ
