The template you are using (/templates/YOURTEMPLATENAME/) will probably have a file named index.tpl. The <title> element is typically automatically generated depending on page content. You will need to add your own <meta...> tags. You can also use a plugin to insert things into the html <head>.

I am having the same problem and I cannot find rvsmaster.tpl. I am using a do-it-yourself template. What would that be called? Where is the page where I can edit the title and meta tags?

Hi!

rvsmaster.tpl is only for people that (Sadly) have to use the RVS Site Builder.

Normally, the index.tpl is the proper place for this. If your template doesn't have that file, copy it over from templates/default/

Sadly, I am still learning and I have to use RV sitebuilder. I created my blog using a do-it-yourself template. I don't know what that is called in the templates file. I have opened several template pages and found the index.tpl. I haven't found one that corresponds with how the page is presently layed out. Do you know where this page might be? I want to edit the title, meta tags, and fonts of the company name and slogan. I also want to add a favicon.

Hi!

RVS Sitebuilder is not enforced/supported by us, we sadly do know nothing at all about it. You need to contact their support on specifics and how they structure their templates.

They differ from what serendipity supplies a lot, so we can't give instructions in your case. Maybe you can install Serendipity on its own, the template management is pretty straight forward then.
