Notes
Mod has been tested against TNG v10.0.2 and appears to be compatible.


Purpose

The default content for the HTML title tag generated by TNG is too lengthy for most search-engines. Google, for example, will ignore the content, rewriting as it sees fit in sometimes unpredictable ways. This affects one's search rankings by causing TNG generated pages to drop off Google's results entirely. Simple Titles, produces title tags in one of two abbreviated formats that are compatible with Google and other search-engines.
