Description

<title>Post Name &raquo; Blog Name</title> is better than <title>Blog Name &raquo; Post Name</title> for both usability and SEO purposes. There are plugins that switch these, and many SEO experts highly recommend this change. Any reason we shouldn't change our bundled themes to use titles like this? We should also probably drop the "Blog Archive" part -- doesn't seem to be useful information.

I reversed the breadcrumb arrow too.

ISSUE: Month and Day permalinks build the breadcrumb forwards instead of backwards. Should wp_title() build breadcrumbs backwards when "right" is specified?

Proposed: June < 2007 < Blog Title

Current (with patch): 2007 < June < Blog Title

The idea is that the more specific and more unique data goes first.

(In [9376]) Make wp_title() sort titles based on separator direction. Reverse the titles in bundled theme. Better SEO. fixes #7338
