Default Re: Displayed Title tags on Google Search - InstanceBeginEditable

Hi Rose,

The coding that you are wandering about is part of a dreamweaver template. This coding is in place to stop certain parts of a template being manually changed within dreamweaver, the idea being that a web master can only change the parts of the design which aren't going to mess things up!

In the coding that you've pasted the area between:
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
and
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
is editable, i.e. the title tag. Everything either side is uneditable. This is a great way to protect a templates integrity if you have non-code savvy people working on your site but in reality most people find it to be a right pain! Its easily removed with notepad.

It is a little puzzling that the title should change? Can you Private message me the search results that you're talking about? But one thing i can definitely say is that the coding above has nothing to do with the changing title in the results. It is most probably different a result from different data centers.
