Notes	Although this mod has not been tested against TNG versions 10.0.0 or 10.0.1, a user reports that v9.2.2.1 is compatible.

This mod is now retired.
There will be no further updates, but for a more functional successor, please consider Simple SEO.

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.
