Site description always appended to site title

[samisam 0]

is there a reason why the site description is always added to every page title? is there a way to turn this off?

I would suggest using an SEO plugin to customize your site titles. Adding titles to pages is a native function of Wordpress. Platform plays no part in modifying those.

That's correct... an SEO plugin (such as HeadSpace or All In One SEO) would allow you not display descriptions/site titles.
