new custom hostname, can I change the title of my main page?

mtnbiker

I just changed my smugmug page over to a custom hostname
http://www.jonpratt.net

and I've lost the personalized title on my main page and all gallery pages. Now the title is "SmugMug Photo Sharing. Your photos look better here."

I don't want to update the "Page Title" field on the Advanced Site-wide customization page because that changes all my pages to the same title. I want to keep the galleries named as they are..
e.g. "Jon Pratt : photos : Frick Park: June 22nd- powered by SmugMug"

I just want the main page, and all gallery pages, to display "Jon Pratt's photos" like it does under http://mtnbiker.smugmug.com/

Thanks
Jon

Use the site wide setting. Soon enough, we hope to have some SEO improvements in place for each individual page. You'll want to subscribe to our Release Notes blog, so that you don't miss a single update from SmugMug... http://blogs.smugmug.com/release-notes/ at the bottom, there's a link for Entries (RSS) - put that in your favorite feed reader.

Thanks Andy...I'll wait until the SEO improvements are made, the site wide kills all my search engine rankings.

I disagree completely with this statement, but you sound like you're convinced. I've had the same sitewide page title for 6 years and my rank for key search terms is plenty high.

Try searching for

westchester senior portrait

as an example.

my galleries didn't start showing up in search engine results until I got rid of the site wide title.
