 Changing the Browser Title for a Top-Level SharePoint Site
How do I change the title that's displayed in the browser for a top-level SharePoint site so it doesn't say "Home"?
by Zubair Alexander  
4/27/2009 -- A lot of people like to change the too-generic "Home" that's the default browser title for the top-level SharePoint site in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. It's easy to see why. Let's say your top-level SharePoint site is called "Intranet." When users add the site to their browser as a Favorite or drag it to the Links toolbar, it would be added as "Home" instead of something more specific, like "SeattlePro Intranet."

Changing "Title, description, and Icon" under Site Actions, Site Settings, Modify All Settings only changes the title on the Web page, not in the browser. To change the title from the default "Home" to something else -- for instance, "SeattlePro Intranet" -- follow these steps:

  1. Open the top-level site.

  2. On the homepage, click Site Actions, Edit Page.

  3. Click on the Page drop-down button and select Page Settings.

    Figure 1

  4. In the Page Title and Description section, click in the Title box and change the title to the one you want. For this example, I've changed it to "SeattlePro Intranet."

  5. Click OK.

  6. Publish the page or exit out of the editing mode (depending on which template you're using; for this example, I used a MOSS template called "Collaboration," which is available on the Publishing tab when you create a site collection).
Figure 2

Notice that the new page title for the top-level site is now "SeattlePro Intranet" in the browser. Also, when you add the Web page to the Links toolbar, it now says "SeattlePro Intranet" instead of just "Home."
