I am partly to blame for the thin documentation since I am still in the process of finishing a complete doco. It’ll be posted on my marketing blog as well as the authors site once completed.

Now to those questions:

1: It’s 2 single quotes, not double.
2: Your assumption is correct (just remember the single quotes). All the rest of the stuff in there is just for formatting the title. eg: &laquo produces the less than sign “<" to ne used as a separator. You will use Headspace to create separators and what not from here on in.
3: This blog belongs to Nicholas Cardot and while I cannot speak for him, I do believe that the date thing is intentional.
My Latest Blog Post: How To Digg Your Way to The Front Page

I have a few questions tough. You wrote to put
wp_title(”);
First, it shows one double quotation mark in the parenthesis. Is that correct? Second, in my header.php, both of my theme and the WordPress default theme, it doesn’t say
wp_title();
but
wp_title(‘&laquo;’, true, ‘right’);
Should I replace everything inside the parenthesis?

One question about the blog: I can’t find a date on any of your posts. Pretty much the only way to find out when they were written is to look at when the first comments were posted. Is that intentional?

Anyway, no I wasn’t saying to do that in every module, I just gave an example of how you could use the dynamic data to ensure that each page title and description was unique. The example was just for the archives section.

There’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to your description other than make it compelling and worth clicking on.
