When I search for my website (which is wholemilkproductions.net) on Google or ChaCha the title comes up as Wheelchair. We had a Wordpress blog thing as our home page once and when I posted something the title of the post would come up as the title of the site because Wordpress is dumb like that. We had a post named Wheelchair and once we scrapped the Wordpress home page the title on Google and ChaCha stayed as Wheelchair where as Yahoo changed to Whole Milk Productions - The Popcorn Isn't Free which is what it should be. Is this my fault or the search engine's?

How long ago did you fix the TITLE element?

Maybe Googlebot just hasn't visited your site since then.

You might also consider that there isn't much for search engines to index on your current site:

Ok. Thanks.
There is a new (and much better) site in the works.
