its good moments..
its the more appropriate way for hiding the title box
anyway if you want just to hide the site title text
there are a lot of ways to use
you can to use HTML directly in the edit title box
or u can to use CSS added in custom css code
directly in the site title edit box
you have to add this TEXT (its HTML)
(you cannot leave this box void)
this is the HTML code for the blank space
you can to add an image made by one pixel (a transparent gif of one pixel)
as it is used here in some base theme
<img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/dot_clear.gif">
you can to use some CSS code
as
h1#page_owner_title { visibility: hidden; }as said moments makers
or you could to use
h1#page_owner_title { display: none; }
or u can to use a lot of other tricks for make that box not visible in the layout
its better do not use small text or text using a color identical to the background color
cause it is penalized by the search engines and the site could be excluded by the index of the search engine
all the search engines make the control on the text size and the text color and often over visibility and display
for preventing to index spam pages
text size and color is always penalized
you have to use display or visibility carefully but generally it is allowed to use these without any exclusion from the index
what I prefer is this code
h1#page_owner_title { position: relative; top: -300px; }or this one
h1#page_owner_title { position: absolute; top: -300px; }it moves the site title box 300px upper
placing it out of the visible area of the layout
at this way the box is hidden but
the text of the site title will remain visible in the top bar of the browser
(the blue bar at the very top of every browser's window)
there are many other ways
for example
uhmmm ,.,.
h1#page_owner_title { height: 0px;}
or maybe you could use the z-index (not tested )
